Django All Stars feat. Veronica Swift – 9:00 PM

Get ready for a musical experience that’s electric, virtuosic, and straight from the heart. The Django Festival Allstars bring the legendary Django Reinhardt’s hot jazz legacy roaring into the 21st century — and it’s hotter than ever. On this concert date, the band will be joined by special guest, the sensational and dynamic vocalist Veronica Swift.

With blazing guitar riffs, soaring violin lines, dazzling accordion solos, rock-solid rhythm, and deep grooves on the double bass, this all-acoustic ensemble blends old-school swing with fresh energy and contemporary flair. It’s tradition with a twist — and it swings hard.

At the heart of the band is Samson Schmitt, son of guitar icon Dorado Schmitt, carrying the torch forward with passion and precision. Alongside him are accordionist Ludovic Beier, violinist Pierre Blanchard, bassist Antonio Licusati, and rhythm guitarist Francko Mehrstein.
