The Uptown Swingsters are bringing their highly entertaining blend of
swing, Dixie, classic pop, and the occasional polka and waltz to
Calumet's Aggasiz Park for Pastyfest this Saturday. From 11 AM until 4
PM, you can dance, sit in the sun, snooze, and munch pasties while the
Swingsters serenade you, and the world's greatest pasty chefs are judged.
Two of the UP's greatest musicians--John Munson on sax, clarinet, and
piano, and trombonist Bob Norden--will be backed up by two of the UP's
most willing musicians--Randy Seppala on drums and Oren Tikkanen on
guitar, banjo and mandolin--and by one of the UP's most beautiful and
dignified bass players--Julia Munson.
It's all free--except for the pasties.
