Coming to Summit City





The Swells will play in downtown Whitesburg at the Summit City Lounge on Thursday, October 23. Hailing from Lexington, The Swells will veer eastward from several shows booked in Lexington to grace Summit City with their self-proclaimed sound ranging from ‘jalopy swing to soul shakedown’. This group combines a cornucopia of woodwind, string, and brass instruments to create their unique sound. Tickets for The Swells will be sold for $5 and the show will start at 9 p.m.

The following Saturday, October 25, at 9 p.m., Summit City will host Durham, N.C.- based international folk band Bombadil. With songs ranging from raucous marches to Bolivian waltzes and straightforward rock, the show is guaranteed to be a cultural roller coaster with a stage performance paralleling the excitement of the music.

YES Weekly’s Kaleigh Oleynik said of Bombadil, “Should you ever find yourself picking up the faintest sound of a Bombadil song and compulsively moving towards it, remember: It may be temporarily unsettling to be dragged by the eardrums into a world of music that changes from sweet to folksy to downright nautical in a matter of minutes.”

Tickets for Bombadil will be sold for $5 and the show will start at 9 p.m. For more information, call 633-2715 or visit the Summit City website at www.summitcitylounge.com.
