Sliphorn is a dancer’s dream band. While some songs feature vocals, the group’s ensemble sound and blend of instruments is the primary focus, never putting one player in the spotlight too long. Their unique sound is not quite a big band, but fuller than a typical combo. Styles range from traditional jazz (where there’s a washboard, there’s a party) to swing-era standards and down-and-dirty blues, with the band’s namesake trombone coloring its signature sound. Sliphorn is accustomed to longer sets and is there for the dancers, providing an eclectic mix with something for everyone.

Their main menu stays in the New Orleans realm with quicker tempos and extended instrumentals for showing off fancy footwork, but there are plenty of opportunities to slow things down as well – the trombone was made for blues and ballads. You’ll even catch the occasional waltz or two-step. Look forward to a night where every tune is danceable, but with a delightful spin of unpredictability in the air.
