Three days of toe-tappin’, finger-snappin’ swing are heading to Wyoming County this weekend. During The Stage’s first Swing Festival, five local bands will fill the theater with echoes of America’s musical history in a three-day event that organizers hope will appeal to a wide audience.
“That’s why we chose swing,” said Paul Penner, president of the Western New York Performance Center, Inc. “Virtually everyone likes swing. You can’t listen and not tap your toes.”
