Neon Swing X-perience Saturday, October 24th • 1-3 PM Sunday, October 25th • Leading the Dog Parade

Wild. Wacky. Zany. Fun. That sums up Neon Swing X-perience (NSX) in four simple words. Yet there is more to the story of the “only band bold enough to jump, jive, and rock.” NSX was formed in 1998 by Mike Urick and a rag-tag group of musicians who had a passion for the music of a bygone era. Since its origins, NSX has been relentlessly devoted to updating and pre- serving vintage American genres such as swing, rockabilly, hot jazz, horn rock, and blues. Described as “swing with sting,” NSX’s style is a raucous mod- ernization of multiple influences all rooted in the big bands of the 1930s and 1940s. The group performs anywhere from a 5-piece ensemble to an 8-piece mini-big band. Every NSX performance is an explosive retro party guaranteed to fill your ears with excitement!
