*proof of vaccination required by host/organizer* (Pittsburgh Swing Dance Community)

Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Five are based in Philadelphia, and travel year round to play festivals and venues all over the world. While they now have four albums and ten years of touring as a band, they got their start inside jazz clubs and ballrooms playing for swing and blues dancers. They have had the honor of sharing the stage with trumpeter Terell Stafford and trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who is featured on their 2017 release Spreadin’ Rhythm Around. Their 2020 release, Carolina Lullaby showcases original songs steeped in jazz, blues, and folk traditions where Reed’s vocals and swing musicality shine. When not composing, the band loves exploring the roots of jazz and finding creative ways to interpret long forgotten songs. Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Five draw upon the intensity of powerhouse vocalists, the ingenuity of 20th century composers, and the soul of the dance floor. They are silly, passionate people who love playing this music. And that’s all there is to it.
