Boy and Bean, local swing/jazz trio, has made a name for themselves with their faithful covers— with a modern twist— of Depression-era songs from the ’20s, ’30s, and of course, the ’40s. Husband-and-wife duo Luke Short and Amber Short harmonize beautifully on vocals,  with Luke also on guitar, and Andrew Jones on upright bass. Covering songs by The Mills Brothers, The Boswell Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and crooners of days-gone-by, Boy and Bean will be a fabulous addition to a fabulous evening at our 40th Anniversary Gala.

Boy and Bean will be playing at the NW Film Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala, on Saturday, May 12th, 2012, during the Silent Auction. Can’t wait? Have a listen here.
