Visual for the concert of Sugahspank! & The Swing Shoes at the SNFCC

Listen to the recorded concert as part of the Jazz Chronicles series here.

The recording will remain available on the SNFCC website.

In August 2018, Sugahspank! & The Swing Shoes joined their old companions, Irene Dimopoulou and Nikos Zografos, for a retrospective celebration of their decade collaboration at the SNFCC.

Swing Shoes became popular with their début album, Ladies and Gents… Here’s The Swing Shoes (2010), introducing their unique blend of gypsy swing and traditional tunes. Ten years ago, they met Sugahspank!, and together became one of the most dynamic and prominent live acts in Athens. Their musical background lies in the blues and gospel, yet ιt is filtered through the band’s inventive spirit, and experimental energy. 

At the SNFCC concert, they feautured an extensive party-set with Irene Dimopoulou and Nikos Zografos, hot on the heels of their joint performance in Munich’s Kulturfestival Gräfelfing.
