Wedding Musicians and Party Band for Boston, New England and Cape Cod | Bluegrass, Swing & Old Time Music | The Goodtime Stringband

Django in June is New England’s premier occasion to celebrate, study and just plain enjoy the musical tradition launched en France some 75 years ago by guitarist Django Reinhardt, a tradition now known by many as “Gypsy jazz.”

In 2009, the event will be held between June 9th and 14th on the campus of Smith College in beautiful Northampton, MA. Musicians (guitar, violin, mandolin, accordion and bass players) have the option of going the full-immersion route by attending Django Camp Tuesday through Sunday or of dropping in for a weekend of clinics and jamming. They’ll also be hosting concerts by world-class Gypsy jazz artists at the lovely Helen Hills Hills Chapel.
