The ’53 Swingbillies

Mark Kreitzer and the ’53 Swingbillies perform at Carleton College, Jan. 2014.
From Mark Kreitzer’s web site: “The ’53 Swingbillies honor several traditions, including Gypsy Jazz, Western Swing, Rockabilly and Swing, as the name suggests. 1953 being the year that both Django Rheinhardt and Hank Williams died, as well as the year that guitarist/singer/songwriter Mark Kreitzer and fiddler Tom Schaefer were born, there may well be a cosmic connection beyond a love of the music!”
