DeChant, Anne E.

"Singer-songwriter Anne E. DeChant combines the best of folk music with introspective, personal songs...."  "DeChant doesn't sound like Sheryl Crow. She doesn't sound like the Indigo Girls, or the Dixie Chicks, or any of the other acts I've heard her likened to. She's a woman with her own distinct voice, her own unmistakable style. She sounds like Anne E. DeChant. And nobody-nobody-sounds like Anne E. DeChant as well as she does.".

Emperors of Swing

High-powered swing, jazz, rhythm and blues band. "We are predominately a Swing band, but with my personal “no limitations in music” we cover Swing, Jazz and R&B Blues. My custom arrangements insure us that no one else has our sound. We are able to go from Sam & Dave to Sinatra to Kenton to Chicago to Elvis and play them correctly. We perform an improved version of the material our way. We keep our music fresh by limiting the number of songs we tribute to each artist. All of our music is fun, entertaining and danceable. I designed this band to be an entertainment sound band. Great music performed excellent, while keeping it motivating for the audience. - 7/22/06
