Café Culture Series – Dr Crask & His Swinging Elexir

Friday 17 August 8pm

Held at Wangaratta Uniting Church Hall (Rowan St)

Whatever ails you, a dose of Dr Crask and his band is guaranteed to revive and delight you! They play swinging dance tunes predominantly from the 1930s and 40s. You’ll hear songs that were performed by Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Prima and more. The rhythm and horn sections, together with the silky smooth vocals of Jen Salisbury, create a lovely ‘little big-band’ sound.
