The BackBreakers are a hard-swingin', seven-piece, jump-blues outfit that combines an exciting three-"horn" section (sax, trombone, and harmonica), with piano/organ, vocals, and a driving rhythm section.  While most bands play a standard 45-minute set then go on break, The BackBreakers are famous for delivering song after song, nonstop, for up to two straight hours of high-energy music and dancing!  Then after a short break, they come back and do it again!  That's the way the band prefers to play -- to get the crowd going, and to build up the musical excitement in a great crescendo, culminating in the final climactic song of their "BackBreaking" sets.  Need we tell you how the band got its name?

Bandmembers are music veterans with well over 100 years of professional experience between them.  Different members have played with a number of blues greats, including Rock Bottom, Diamond Teeth Mary, Dave Specter, and Eddie Kirkland.  Their influences include jump-blues legends ranging from Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway, to Big Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, and Roomful of Blues.  They're equally at home in the new swing world, as they've demonstrated in spectacular fashion to monster crowds at their prior Swing Time appearances.

Together now for over 10 years, the BackBreakers are today going stronger than ever!  Experience their high energy & excitement for yourself at the upcoming Swing Time!
