THE HOT TODDIES JAZZ BAND are a fun-loving hot jazz & swing band from NYC. They have an eclectic mix of styles perfect for dancing, lindy hop, and good times! Since May 2022 the band has maintained a weekly residency at the prominent Manhattan nightclub, Somewhere Nowhere, and built it into one of the most popular jazz nights in New York City, averaging over 300 people each night year-round. Playing to mixed crowds of swing dancers, jazz fans, and large numbers of 20-30 year olds (curious about jazz via social media), the band developed a unique & high energy approach to performing… as guitarist Justin Poindexter describes, “a hard-swinging chemistry and spirited repertoire developed between our core group of musicians…” Founded in 2018, the band quickly became one of the top swing bands on the scene in NYC, the birthplace of the dance. In Summer 2023 they headlined the beloved outdoor swing dance at Lincoln Center in front of over 2,000 people during “Summer for the City” (formerly Midsummer Night Swing ). This was also the release of their debut full length album, that was praised by critics, on Jazz Charts for 3 weeks (hitting #11 on the NACC Top 30), and playing on over 50 radio stations nationwide. Their 2021 debut EP “Quarantine Tracks” featured wacky music videos for “Dunkin Bagel” and “Five O’clock Coffee” – both hitting over 100k views on social media. Their new album “Triple Step” will be released on all platforms on September 20th, and available on CD, cassette, and vinyl. Sharing their love of this music and connecting with swing communities and dancers everywhere is part of what inspires the band. This year the band toured extensively across the US, driving nearly 5,000 miles to play for swing dances in Austin, Santa Fe, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Denver, Washington DC, San Antonio, Fort Worth; and at festivals such as Levitt Pavilion Dayton in Ohio, Green Box in Colorado, Hudson River Park in Manhattan, Cornell University, and headlined Linco
