The Late Risers started in the Summer of 2014.  The ensemble comprises musicians passionate about the classic Jazz era and is inspired by speakeasies of The Roaring 20s, Swing Dances of the 30s & 40s, and Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Over the years they have become a beloved institution, performing at night clubs, swing dances, weddings and events all over the country.  The Late Risers elicit smiling faces and dancing feet wherever they go and their music brings people together.
