Photo of James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra James Anthony's Salute to Sinatra "James Anthony was amazing when he performed for the United States Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. He arrived early to rehearse with a 20 piece group of musicians and was a huge hit. The Congress Members and Senators were asking where I found him and we at the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce absolutely recommend him. Due to popular demand, we brought him back the next year to perform for the US Senate for their annual gala." Based in Fairfax, Virginia (181 miles from Pittsburgh) 20th October 2025 Maisie R. - Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce Photo of THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® THE "ORIGINAL" MOONLIGHTERS ® "We hired the Original Moonlighters for our wedding band, and they were absolutely fantastic! We had a large wedding, with a lot of guests that have different musical tastes, but this band was able to get everyone on the dance floor and brought amazing energy to the wedding. They had a wide set list and made our special day even more fun." Based in Washington D.C., District of Columbia (190 miles from Pittsburgh) Thomas B. - Wedding Photo of The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band "Perfect Jazz Band! Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (227 miles from Pittsburgh) Jenifer F. - Cocktail and Dinner Music Photo of Swing Shift Big Band/Wedding Band Swing Shift Big Band/Wedding Band "Thank YOU and the band so much - I'm only sorry we cut into your playing time (speeches and photos)! Everyone absolutely loved the band and was blown away by your sets- we'll hope to catch you and the full Swing Shift band at the Rex sometime in the future and buy you a drink!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (227 miles from Pittsburgh) Jesse and Lilly - Private wedding with little big band Photo of Just Us Jazz Band Just Us Jazz Band "Excellent, reliable, and high quality music! John was an absolute delight to work with." Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (227 miles from Pittsburgh) Samantha Tyson - Corporate Event Photo of The Gumbo Gumbas The Gumbo Gumbas "New Orleans is a state-of-mind. Every year around this time of year, Mardi Gras is an explosion of joyousness. You don't have to travel down to Louisiana to feel it. Its spirit resides in Mercer County in a little town called Ewing, where Joe Grillo leads The Gumbo Gumbas on a Cajun holiday all year round. The jump-blues, zydeco, rocl'n'roll, jazz, folk strains and oh such soul are on full display wherever they play. Now you can even share that feeling, that zest for life, that passionate embodiment of the groove, in your own home. Zydeland has to be the feel-good album of the year so far. Written, arranged, produced, sung and honked on his tenor sax, Grillo imbues Zydeland with a Bourbon Street beat. He's an honorary French Quarter denizen of the night. Of course, there's always time to invoke a little Tom Waits on highlight "Can't Go Back to New Orleans" The colors mix and mingle with tuba, banjo, guitar, violin, viola, cello, trombone, accordion, piano, bass, clarinet, soprano sax, trumpet and that penetration percolation percussion. Excuse me, I got to get on up and do the boogaloo. You just can't set still for this thing." Based in Ewing, New Jersey (274 miles from Pittsburgh) Mike Greenblatt music critic for NJ Sound - Zydeland Record Review

Frequently asked questions

The average price for swing bands on Gig Heaven is $850, with rates from $230 to $2,650+. Cost varies based on the number of musicians, set length and the style of swing. Swing bands range from intimate jazz combos to large orchestras, and the size of the ensemble is the primary factor in pricing.

Most line-ups include one, and in smaller groups the singer often doubles on an instrument. Some acts are instrumental only, which works well for background playing but changes the feel once people want to dance. Profiles say which format each act offers and several can supply either.

The swing bands in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States perform swing, big band jazz, jive, boogie-woogie and related styles from the 1930s through to the modern swing revival. Many bands offer a mix of vintage classics and contemporary songs performed in a swing style.

The swing bands on Gig Heaven range from small combos of three to five musicians up to full big band line-ups with horn sections and vocalists. A smaller group suits intimate settings, while a larger ensemble delivers the classic big band swing sound.

Most swing bands are self-contained and bring their own instruments, PA system and amplification. Larger ensembles may have specific staging requirements. It is worth confirming technical and space needs with the band before booking.

Typical bookings for swing bands include vintage-themed weddings, black-tie dinners, corporate events, cocktail parties, swing dance nights and gala celebrations. Swing music creates a sophisticated, energetic atmosphere that is perfect for dancing.

Swing is written for dancing and most bands build the set around it, varying the tempo so the floor stays busy rather than holding one pace all night. Several will run a short demonstration early on at events where guests do not know the steps. A floor area clear of tables makes far more difference to this than the size of the line-up.

Most perform in vintage-styled suits or dresses in keeping with the era, and many will match a black-tie or 1940s theme if asked. Some carry more than one look and will confirm which suits the occasion. Mentioning the theme when enquiring is usually enough, as it rarely affects the fee.
