It's swing time, sister!
Actually, it is more like Swing Out Sister!
At least that is what is on tap for this evening at the Ram's Head Live at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. A staple of late 80's and early 90's pop/jazz radio, Swing Out Sister burst onto the scene in 1987. Their breakout hit "Breakout", from their US debut "It's Better to Travel" earned them an instant fanbase. Even when someone says they have never heard of SOS I tell them they have. They just don't know it. "Ever waited for more than 45 minutes in a doctor's office?" If you have, they you have heard "Breakout". But seriously, SOS goes way beyond that.
A wonderful blend of jazz, swing and pop, the music of SOS is what happens when the exquisitely smooth voice of a singer like Corrine Drewery's collides with the musical talents and explorations of keyboardist Andy Connell. It is truly one of the great musical pairings out there.
This is will be my first time seeing them live. Having only toured sporadically in the US in the past, I am very excited that they have included Baltimore on their itinerary this time around. Hugely popular in the likes of Japan and parts of Europe, their shows in the states are too few and far between so I won't let this one pass me by.
