Jackie and Tovi arrived in 2015 from Alaska, where they led the group Swing 49. Jackie’s soulful and improvisational singing charmed even the most gruff Alaskan fishermen--and the judges at the 2017 Seattle Jazz Vocalist Competition, where she was a finalist! Tovi studied classical and jazz guitar at the University of Alaska--he plays hard-swinging rhythm and playful solos. Our groove is never better than when Tovi plays with us!
This event has been very popular in the past--we recommend buying tickets in advance, plus reserving a table.
Tickets: $15 advance, $20 doors - https://www.strangertickets.com/events/135856211

Ranger's wife Monica Finney is a wonderful vocalist! She's classically trained and has a bright, clear voice. She's a regular sub with the band on vocals and snare, and a student of Greta Matassa. Her singing adds a totally different dimension to our sound! The BIMA auditorium is one of our favorite performance spaces: beautiful and comfortable; every seat is a great one, and most importantly the sound is amazing!
These shows can fill up--we recommend you email info@RangerSwings.com for reservations. Just let Ranger know how many seats you want, and he'll send you a confirmation. There is no set ticket price; we'll just collect donations.
This event is presented solely by Ranger and the "Re-Arrangers" and may not reflect the mission and values of the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art or its staff

Carlos is a guitarist visiting Seattle for a couple months. He's put together a combo just for this event--a bass, 2 guitars (including regular re-arrangers guest Patrick Brooks), and Ranger on violin. What will it sound like? Nobody knows exactly, but that's part of the fun!
