The Old Tire Swingers are a band known for giving their all and putting their hearts and souls into it, but none are likely to compare to their upcoming show at the Fox Theatre. This Theatre is special, and not just because it puts the band directly in front of their hometown fans. It’s also a very prestigious theater to play in. And that’s something the Swingers aren’t taking lightly as they prepare for their show there this Saturday night.
“We’re just trying to make the Fox show exactly the way we want it to be,” says Nick Kennedy, guitar player and lead singer for the band. “The Fox is definitely special to us. Not everybody gets to go play the Fox. You don’t just call up the owner and say, ‘Hey, we want to play a show.’ The fact that they would even allow us to play there is big for us.”
Not everybody, indeed. The Old Tire Swingers will be only the second local band in the past several years to play the iconic theatre. Poor Man’s Poison, a band that focuses on folk and Americana music, played there this past February to a sold out crowd. There’s little doubt that the Swingers will do the same this Saturday.
If you haven’t seen or heard them yet, make sure you take this chance. The Swingers are known for bringing an old style of bluegrass music, complete with a banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and acoustic guitar. But being from a younger generation, the group puts a unique and modern twist on it, making this music that anyone can relate to.
Tickets are on sale and the show starts at 8 p.m. this Saturday at the Fox Theatre in California. For a truly fun and unforgettable music experience, get your tickets today!
