Hot Club of Beachtown – Live, In Concert

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Get ready for another hot night of jazz in the cool, intimate setting of the David Ogden Stiers Studio Theatre as Hot Club of Beachtown returns for an encore performance!

Oregon Coast Council for the Arts presents the Gypsy Jazz quartet Hot Club of Beachtown. Enjoy a toe-tapping evening of vocal and acoustic swing jazz featuring everything from Gypsy Jazz classics to standards from the swing era, modern swing, and even a few novelty numbers!

Band members Jim Kuoni (vocals, guitar), David M Jones (vocals, guitar), David *Peanut* Ousele (violin), and Don Nelson (bass) have been performing music for most of their lives, with many swing, rock, jazz, and country bands under their collective belts. Initially, a collaboration between Kuoni and Ousele, the addition of Jones and Nelson led the ensemble to achieve a richer and more complete sound.
