Aj Hix and his Rhythm Six

Swing from the era when it ruled the dance floor. AJ Hix and His Rhythm Six work through the songbooks of Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Count Basie, with a few modern swing-influenced tracks mixed in. Sofi Kerr fronts the six-piece with smoky, soulful vocals over a rhythm section and horns, and the band performs in vintage 1930s and 40s attire so the whole thing looks the part too. Sets run around 45 to 60 minutes, balancing upbeat swing with slower tunes for dancing or background ambience. For smaller Perth events the group can shrink down to a four-piece instrumental line-up.
