__________________________________________

Enjoy an impressive live band and venue lineup for 2009:

" SOLOMON DOUGLAS SWINGTET "
Friday Evening at Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall
An international favorite, this ten-piece band evokes a combination of Basie and Ellington, playing a variety of big band favorites and classic jazz numbers. A swing dancer himself, Douglas knows how to play for the dance floor and is sure to start the weekend off with a bang! http://solomondouglas.com/

" RICK MATT PROJECT "
Friday Late Night at Wightman Community Center
A PittStop crowd pleaser. They use their classic jazz to bring a fresh and lively interpretation to our favorite swing standards. RMP intimately knows the Pittsburgh swing scene and always plays exactly what we need to wow us through the evening!

" DJ DANCE "
Saturday Afternoon at St. Nicholas Greek Othodox Cathedral
DJ's you will love... Loreto Agdinaoay, Jason Richwine, Lisa Matt, Aaron Batista, Ed Malloy, and a special set by Jeffy "Cupcake" Altman with interludes of the ever-lovable singer and piano-player, Yakov Hadash!

" JIMMY SAPIENZA'S FIVE GUYS NAMED MOE "
Saturday Evening at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral
This band features a classic swing sound reminiscent of Louis Jordan and Louie Prima. Adding Kenny Blake on sax, plus the energy of Lindy Hoppers, they've always been extra hot at PittStop, leaving crowds blown away. http://www.jimmysapienza.com/

" Sweaty Betty Blues Band "
Saturday Late Night at Wightman Community Center
Bluesy, grindy and jazzy! Marcy Brown sings with soul and grit for your late-nite dancing pleasure. Described as "turbo-charged jazz riffs into the blues," they will energize you into the wee hours! http://www.myspace.com/sweatybettybluesband

" Dr. Zoot "
Sunday Afternoon at The Edgewood Club
The band knocks em dead regularly from the Showboat Casino in Atlantic City NJ to Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville in Key west FL and fine clubs and venues in between. They are certain to make it a fun afternoon of lindy hop! http://www.drzoot.com/

" BOILERMAKERS JAZZ BAND with JENNIE LUVV "
Sunday Evening at The Edgewood Club
Pittsburgh is proud to call them our own. The Boilermakers are hired far and wide to play at many of the great swing events. Led by Paul Cosentino and featuring the dulcet vocals of the dazzling Jennie Luvv, the BMJB will swing you out like never before. http://www.boilermakerjazzband.com/

Please note a correction to the DJ list:

Not all of the DJ's listed above all be spinning tunes during the Saturday afternoon dance, as listed above, but at various times throughout the Lindy Exchange weekend.

The actual times for each DJ will be disclosed at a later time.

Sorry about the misprint.
