The Swingers

The Swingers are an Estonian acid jazz band formed in 1999. Known for their blend of soulful vocals, funky grooves, and electronic elements, they quickly gained popularity in their home country and beyond. Fronted by the charismatic Metsakutsu, the band has released numerous albums and singles, including their self-titled debut and the live album "Jazz City Presents Bethlehem Jazz Session." Their music often features Estonian lyrics alongside English, giving them a unique and distinctive sound. They're a favorite on the Estonian festival circuit and have toured internationally, sharing their infectious energy with audiences worldwide.

Over the years, The Swingers have consistently evolved their sound, incorporating influences from funk, soul, electronic music, and even traditional Estonian folk music. While their earlier work leaned heavily on acid jazz, they've explored a wider range of styles in recent releases like "Aeg Elada" and "Pärlipüüdja." Despite these sonic explorations, their core sound – built on tight grooves, catchy melodies, and Metsakutsu's powerful vocals – remains instantly recognizable. They continue to be a vital force in the Estonian music scene and a testament to the enduring appeal of soulful, funky music.
