More about the band:

The Woodpeckers joyfully play the classic Swing of the 1920’s and 30’s. In a highly improvisatory, good-humored, spontaneous, conversational and interactive style they interpret the exhilarating music of that time, when jazz was being born and was embraced and celebrated by young and old.

The quartet includes Ron Kelley; tenor sax, Walter Slowinski; clarinet, Ty Gibbons; upright bass, and Mark Anagnostopulos; rhythm guitar. All members sing.
