THE SCHWINGS BAND

The Schwings are a vintage swing and New Orleans style jazz band hailing all the way from the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius! Founded in 2011 by legendary jazz musician and multi-instrumentalist Remis Rančys. The Schwings rapidly rose to popularity in Lithuanian jazz festivals, clubs and lindy hop dance events. Initially playing golden standards of swing, Brazilian, and gypsy jazz, the band has since begun recording original compositions. Their most recent 2019-2020 albums “Teisutis”, "Fyodor", " Good Thing" and "Plazi" reached the #1 bestseller in swing/jazz category on Bandcamp. Spotify data suggests, that most of The Schwings fans live in the USA. Now performing internationally, they have ‘schwung’ their Lithuanian spirit across the UK, Switzerland, Denmark, Greece, Germany, Spain, Poland, Estonia, Finland and Russia.
