  • Diversity. Fun. Elegance
    Book Mike and The Mixers for your wedding or corporate event. Courtesy of the Mike McSwain Agency [email protected] Call Mike Mcswain 843-763-3805 Diversity. Fun. Elegance. The Mixers bring each, in just the right amount, to your event. Diversity. From Jazz standards to hard-hitting funk and rock tunes. Fun. The band keeps folks dancing and the band REALLY has fun being the driving force behind a great party. Elegance. The dress, the stage appearance, the lighting, the right volume...all contribute to a elegant event. The band was founded in 1994 by Charleston drummer Mike McSwain, who plays drums and handles business affairs for the group. The MiXeRs play only private events, most of which are wedding receptions and corporate events. But the band also plays anniversary parties, bar/bat mitzvahs, birthday parties, and reunions. Mike contributes the bandʼs busy schedule to the versatility of the group. “I think the biggest reason brides and corporate planners are happy with us is that we can create elegance in the beginning of an event, but weʼre able to shift gears when the time is right and create a party and dance atmosphere. Practically every event we play begins with jazz standards as background music, but winds up being a heck of a party, “ says McSwain. Another factor in the bandʼs success is the fact that the players are full-time musicians. Playing music is not something the band just does on the side. Mikeʼs clients know that this is his full-time profession, and that he has the time and willingness to give their party the proper attention.

  • Perspective: Ray Charles' 'America the Beautiful' Is Our Best Hope for Bringing Us Together
    Perspective: Ray Charles' 'America the Beautiful' is our best hope for bringing us together It would take a genius to ease the antagonisms surrounding the national anthem controversy. I know just the man for the job. His name is Ray Charles. Often called "the Genius" during a long career, Ray Charles performed unique combinations of rock, country, R&B, soul, blues, jazz and gospel with such energy and style that he invited fans of one culture to cross over and taste the flavor of another. That he was blind from childhood only added to the mystery of his mastery. He attracted appreciation from white folks and black folks, listeners from the country and the city, rich people and poor people, the up-and-coming and the down-and-out. "This may sound like sacrilege," said another piano man, Billy Joel, "but I think Ray Charles was more important than Elvis Presley." Ray Charles Robinson was born in Georgia in 1930 and lived in Greenville, Fla., a small town near the state line, from the time he was 6 months old. He went blind at the age of seven and spent his formative years at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind in St. Augustine. Those hard beginnings would spark a musical career. Charles would travel the world, with performances at St. Petersburg's Manhattan Casino along the way. (It is hard to find, but in 1950 Charles recorded St. Pete Florida Blues, a song not about lost love, but about finding a woman who satisfies his every need.) I remember well the day he died: June 10, 2004.
