A dedicated group of six professionals who can bring Dixieland jazz to life for your event making it a moment to remember.
Formed in Charleston in 1997, The River City Dixieland Jazz Band is a dedicated group of professionals who specialize in the presentation of traditional American jazz, "N'Orleans style". Historically, Charleston has always shared many characteristics with its Louisiana counterpart. But now, the Holy City can also say it has that special spirited sound that's rarely heard anywhere else, real Dixieland jazz!
River City will provide a unique Charleston experience for all, even families with small children. Hearing and seeing the various instruments in the band always fascinate the kids, and to everyone´s delight, they'll want to dance to this spirited music that people of all ages find so appealing. Dixieland jazz is a happy, toe-tappin´ kind of music that's never too loud, fun to dance to and entertaining even for those who just want to listen.
Guests can sing along to familiar tunes like "Ain't She Sweet," "Five Foot Two," and "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home," and of course, they'll have the opportunity to try their luck dancing to the city's most famous tune, "The Charleston." The band's renditions of Louis Armstrong's "Hello Dolly" and "Wonderful World" are also great crowd pleasers, as well as "The Muskrat Ramble," "Tiger Rag," "Sweet Georgia Brown" and our traditional red-hot closer, "When the Saints Go Marching In."
River City´s recent appearances include functions at landmark venues such as the Charleston Place Hotel, the Sanctuary at Kiawah, the Woodlands Resort in Summerville, and various plantations such as Boone Hall, Magnolia and Middleton. Other familiar establishments downtown include the Blind Tiger and nine months of weekly performances at the Southend Brewery on East Bay Street.
I´m sure you'll find River City to be a great choice for a variety of functions including private parties, corporate meetings, outdoor gatherings and special events. Watch and see how a little Dixieland Jazz can make your next function one they´ll be sure to remember.
