Back by popular demand, the Mississippi Hot Club from Minneapolis will perform at the Winona Arts Center, 228 E 5th St., on Saturday, October 26. The coffeehouse and gallery open at 6:00 and the concert begins at 7:00. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door and are available at Music Mart in Winona or on Eventbrite.

Mississippi Hot Club is inspiring a new generation of young swingers in Minnesota. With reverence and chops, Mississippi Hot Club’s new album, Swing Cities, shines light on the bold music of Django Reinhardt from a fresh pop-oriented perspective.

Recorded at Wild Sound Recording Studio in Minneapolis, Swing Cities masterfully captures MHC’s spunky performances, featuring an upbeat approach to jazz manouche, hot club jazz, and gypsy jazz. Swing Cities captivates with its high caliber swing and rhythms that run from cool to fiery.

“Over the past five years, this quintet has become one of the Midwest’s preeminent string bands. Originally an homage to French Gypsy Jazz, the quintet’s music has begun to take on a more eclectic, adventurous persona as other influences have crept into the palette.”
