Live Music
Lindy Focus puts music first. Simply put, the best music creates the best dancing. We hold nothing back in bringing you quite literally the best live music we believe is possible to assemble. It starts with the bandleaders, but continues with the individual musicians (each all-stars in their own right) and continues further with the song selection itself (yes, we are known to make band set-lists months in advance).
Main Dances
As always, the focus here is in giving you five nights of historic big band music and modern classics, featuring tributes to the greatest bandleaders and arrangements of the era and today. Musicians are hand-picked from around the country to join our 13-piece swing orchestra, providing you with 3 full sets of delicious tunes the evenings of December 27th-31st.
Late Nights
These are still designed to create the atmosphere and sound of historical dance bands, but here we focus often on looser, smaller groups for a more intimate (if no-less-thrilling) set of shows. Expect to see 8 musicians on our late night stage, providing two amazing sets of live tunes during the wee late hours of December 27th-30th.
Check back in late spring to learn about the featured music of Lindy Focus ‘25.
