Welcome to Riverside Music and
The Riverside Swing Band!
We are a group of
professional musicians dedicated to making your next event,
party, festival or wedding exactly the way you dream it to
be!
Whether it’s background jazz for a cocktail hour, a
traditional evening of 1930’s and 40’s music or a
high-intensity wedding reception dance, Riverside Music can
and will exceed all your expectations! Feel free to
drop us a quick
note with comments, questions,
suggestions or anything else. Thanks for stopping
by!
If you’d like a duo, trio, quartet, quintet, or the full
swing band, just let us know! Most of our arrangements are
geared towards the six-piece, but we can make do with
anything you want.

questions
I
want to hire a band, but I also like the idea of a d.j.. What
should I do?
Have us both! This is
becoming a popular trend for weddings, and we’re happy to
share the stage. We regularly work with a handful of d.j.s.
We let the d.j. use our equipment, and since they only
provide entertainment for half the night, it’s much less
expensive than hiring us both separately. Let us take care of
finding the right one for you! All you need to do is let us
know what kind of music you’d like to dance
to.

questions
Do
you only play music from the 1930’s and 40’s?
Not
at all. We base our band in the style of the 30’s and 40’s,
but besides all the Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Frank
Sinatra, Louis Prima, Duke Ellington and Count Basie, we play
Michael Jackson, James Brown, Beatles, Motown…the list goes
on.
We like fun music, and we change what we play depending on
the performance. Let us know what you want to
hear!

Where
can I see you perform?
See
that link to the “Upcoming
Shows” page up top? If you’re
lucky, we might have a public performance coming up. We
mostly do private events these days, which are not listed
on the website. We get in trouble if our fans start
showing up and dancing at weddings and 3M functions. From
time to time we play city festivals, clubs, casinos, etc…,
so you can come to those.
Come back to the website often for new updates! Also, the
trio plays every month at Max’s Groove House in Forest Lake.
It’s a half hour from the cities, and there’s no cover! Come
say hi on the first Wednesday of each
month!
