The Wellington City Shake-’Em-On-Downers

The Wellington City Shake-’Em-On-Downers deliver the most scintillating swing, the most dapper Dixieland and the most energetic interpretations of vintage jazz classics. The Wellington City Shake-’Em-On-Downers are a Martinborough legend, having been a headline act for three Jazz in Martinborough festivals.

As well as standards from the New Orleans and swing songbook, they also perform raging new compositions inspired by the era.
