The Swinging J's were the perfect wedding band for us. Both my husband & I were fans of them when we went to college in Boston. They were excited to work with us and were very flexible in learning a few special songs and making a set list to ou...r tastes, and traveled to Newport for us. They read the crowd extremely well and everyone was dancing their butts off by the end of the night, which was exactly what we wanted. If you want a real band - not one of the over-produced traditional wedding bands - that will give you great music and real party, go with the Swinging Js.
