We are thrilled to bring the great Chelsea Reed back to the Mobtown Stage for a night of Swing, Lindy Hop, and damn fine music. As at all of our Friday night dance programming, the bar opens at 7:30, we have a drop-in beginner lesson at 8 (no partner or experience required), and the dance goes from 9-late!

$20/$15 students. Cash and credit accepted.

Chelsea really needs no introduction, but here’s a little more information in case you weren’t sold yet

In October 2012, vocalist and composer Chelsea Reed invited a few friends over to play for some dancers in a South Philly living room. Since that fateful day, she's been singing and playing for audiences all over the world and adding band members along the way. With four albums and a decade of touring under their belts, the Fair Weather Band continue to bring the soul of a swing dance to any show--whether at a jazz club, backroom blues bar, or a festival stage. They have shared a bandstand with trumpeter Terell Stafford and trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who is featured on their 2017 release Spreadin’ Rhythm Around. Their 2020 release, Carolina Lullaby showcases original songs steeped in jazz, blues, and folk traditions where Reed’s soaring vocals and swing musicality shine. When not composing, the band loves exploring the roots of American music to uncover long forgotten songs. Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Band draw upon the intensity of powerhouse vocalists, the ingenuity of 20th century composers, and the energy of a full dance floor. They are silly, passionate people who love playing this music. And that’s all there is to it.
