Hometown: St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
The Swinging Belles, a swing band for kids from St. John’s, NL, are intent on getting both kids and adults to kick up their heels and have a swinging good time with the whole family!
Recent winners of the 2015 Canadian Folk Award for Children’s Album of the Year, The Swinging Belles feature child educators and performers Laura Winter and Erin Power, joined by guitarist extraordinaire Duane Andrews. This show is all about getting kids and parents out to have a dance and enjoy some swing country and jazz … kid style. As primary school teachers, both Laura and Erin know first hand, the joy that kids feel when they can boogie to some good time music, and as parents, Duane and Erin know the importance of enjoying the music that our kids are listening to! The show is packed with music, interactive storytelling and dancing - lots of dancing!
