They’re back!
From their website:
The Sonny Balcones are a Toronto based jazz band that combine
30’s and 40’s swing with french jazz, bossanova, new orleans trad and sultry torch songs.
Their live show has a comfort and familiarity as if an old friend has invited you into their living room while they tell you about all their (mis)adventures since you last met.
You’ll find yourself snapping your fingers, tapping your toes,
or making eyes across the bar.
Music to swoon to.
