The Band

Band Leader Mike Faast, has assembled a group
of jazz-country all stars, 
anchored by
Western Swing legend, 
Paul Anastasio - fiddle,
Natonal Flatpicking Champion, 
Roger Ferguson -guitar/ mandolin/fiddle, and 
Jazz Bassman, Lance Haslund.

Mike sings lead and plays rhythm 
guitar as the Seattle based group lays down their version what they call, 
"hick jazz."

The Jangles perform an acoustic version of Texas swing music that is winning fans in both jazz and country circles alike. 

Borrowing from Milton Brown, Bob Wills, Hank Williams , Gene Autry, Asleep at the Wheel, Patsy Cline, Jimmy Rivers and others, they put a contemporary edge on a timeless brand of 30's and 40's dance music. 

Their music is perfectly suited for dancin' or listening.
