FirstWorks Summer Beats Concerts: Swanky Kitchen Band

Friday, July 26th  6:00 – 8:00 PM
on the Boathouse Lawn
presented by FirstWorks and Roger William Park Conservancy

Swanky Kitchen Band is the guardian of the Cayman Islands’ indigenous musical genre- kitchen dance music.
Since 2003, Swanky Kitchen Band has grown a loyal fan base and is Cayman’s most sought after and
acclaimed performing act.

This dynamic 9-piece band comprises Samuel Rose (fiddle) Nicholas Johnson (guitar),  Paula
Scott (grater/shakers), Lammie Seymour (bass) Devon Edie, (sax/harmonica), Christopher
Seymour (lead guitar) KK Alese- (vocals), Jeffrey Wilson (vocals) and Jared Tibbetts (drums).

They honour their violin-centric roots which can be traced back to the Irish and Celtic fiddling
traditions brought to the Cayman Islands by its earliest permanent settlers.  But the driving pulse
of the music comes from the vibrant rhythms brought across by African slaves.  The unique
blending of African and European heritage runs through the blood lines of native Caymanians as
well as through their beloved kitchen dance music.
