The Huggee Swing Band could also be described as

The Huggee Swing Band could also be described as 'the rock band among the swing bands'. Rough. Wild. Uncompromising. Founded to play at opening of the Mannheim scene pub 'Hagestolz', the band fought their way up to the Berlin Konzerthaus. Today the band is known throughout Germany and the swing scene cannot be imagined without them anymore. The band has always stood for a mix of recklessness and seriousness, tradition and modernity, MP3 and vinyl or dance shoes and sneakers. Whether traditional songs in a modern guise or the other way around, everything is possible, nothing is necessary. It just has to be fun! After five years of instrumental swing, the HUGGEES are opening a new chapter in their band's history with their current album 'Nightmood' and are getting reinforcements on the vocals for the first time. With Franziska Schuster (Cologne), the band has found a singer who, with her outstanding vocal color and cool attitude, is a perfect match for the seven guys. The singer, originally from the Stuttgart area, brings a new energy to the band and contributes significantly to the further development of the band's sound, which is miraculously reflected in NIGHTMOOD, the second album of the young Mannheim swing band. Fans of hot jazz right up to big band sound get their money's worth, as the band's special instrumentation of a four-piece brass and a three-piece rhythm section allows arranger Konrad Hinsken (piano) to combine several decades of jazz music history and styles into a very special sound - the HUGGEE SWING.
