Clifton Opera House will host Swing Shift on Saturday, September 4th at 7:30pm. Swing Shift provides their own unique take on the jazz of the thirties and forties. Their approach to standards and gypsy jazz reflects the long individual experience that each of them has in playing jazz, pop, rock, blues and even bluegrass, as well as the cohesiveness that comes from many years of playing together.

Michael Hitchcock, mandolin and Larry Gault, bass have been playing together since the 1960s. Steve Benson, drums, has been their percussionist since the mid 80s. They joined with Randy Kubilius, guitar, some six years ago to form Swing Shift, drawn together by their mutual love of the music of the Benny Goodman sextet and of the gypsy guitar master Django Reinhardt.

The Clifton Opera House is located at 5 So Clay Street, Clifton. The village of Clifton owns and operates the Opera House as a fund raiser. Call 937)767-2343 for information or check out the web: www.villageofclifton.com.
