Sly Blue's style has been and always will be inspired by early jazz. The sounds of New Orleans, the energy of New York, and the presence of unforgettable singers like Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Louis Prima all contribute to the force that is Sly Blue. The group bridges the gap between old and new by playing classic tunes, arranging contemporary pop songs into the swing style, and writing original music. Their performance is like no other, and the band has audiences all over the world, both swing dancers and listeners in concert halls, screaming for more. Sly Blue also has the distinguished honor, among many, of being the only band to perform on the Bell Podium at the New York Stock Exchange.
Check out the second album, Edge of the World.

I caught one of your sets in Central Park last week. Left 410. Grabbed a CD. I freaking LOVE your music! I love your respect for songwriters from before a LOT. Makes these new Nashvillains look supremely stupid in their song smithing. ANYHOW. I don't know if you guys have ever considered Radio, but the Roots panel would likely dig what you guys are doing. They play all types of Americana, from the twang to the ragtime. I'd love to chat more if you were interested. My site isĀ www.notoriousradio.com Either way, keep it up. You made my day...and now week!!!
