Polyjesters

These Alberta boys won many audience converts to their "swingin' folk chunk" style of music (which takes inspiration from Django Reinhardt, adds a bit of bebob, and a dash of country swing to make something entirely new) when they tore into Pender Harbour in March of 2005 and again in March 2006. None of us will ever think of ukeles in quite the same way again... Polyjesters

A night to remember!

Alexander Tselyakov
