The Paxton Spangler Band is known for its variety; a mix jazz, swing, crooner stuff and soul tunes as well as funky New Orleans music.
Great songs by Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Cohen, Hank Williams, Earl King, Danny Barker, Duke Ellington, Roy Ayers, Leon Russell, Jimmy Cliff, Nat King Cole and of course, Louis Jordan.
The Paxton/Spangler Band, led by Detroit veterans John “Tbone” Paxton and RJ Spangler, blends New Orleans jazz, blues, soul, swing, and funky R&amp;B into a lively, groove-driven sound.
Lifelong buddies RJ Spangler &amp; Tbone Paxton started working together in 1980 with a very popular band around Detroit called the Sun Messengers. They toured the East Coast, Midwest, and Deep South for a number of years. Back then Tbone was awarded a Motor City Music Award for best trombonist. Since that time, he has also become quite an engaging vocalist. In fact, he has been nominated a number of years in a row now as best jazz vocalist at the Detroit Music Awards. The two are cornerstone members of the 10 pc Planet D Nonet, and as such, have toured to 11 states, released as many CDs, and garnered 9 Detroit Music Awards. Now they offer this stripped-down project – just five musicians, with a debut CD out nationally in 2020 and a 2nd CD "Joys" which was also released nationally, came out in 2023 to great acclaim.
On any given night the the Paxton/Spangler Band performs great songs by Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Cohen, Hank Williams, Earl King, Danny Barker, Duke Ellington, The Stylistics, Roy Ayers, Leon Russell, Jimmy Cliff, Nat King Cole and of course, Louis Jordan. They have first-hand experience backing New Orleans greats like Johnny Adams and Earl King. RJ was pianist/singer Eddie Bo's bandleader up North for many years. And of course, they have performed together and separately in New Orleans.
Doors open at 5PM, Show starts at 6:30 PM.
Kitchen will be open for dinner &amp; drinks.

Djangophonique brings Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche tradition to Lansing with fiery guitar, swinging rhythms, virtuosic musicianship, and the lively spirit of a Parisian dance hall.
Djangophonique is an award winning project that delivers the infectious joy, and expressive freedom that is at the heart of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music, and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with the aching nostalgia of a shimmering ballad.
Djangophonique has been described as “…the cleanest, most genuine manouche jazz that can be heard in Michigan” (Local Spins). Led by guitar player Andrew Brown, a true disciple of the style, the project has cultivated a community of musicians who channel the tenacious agility that the music demands. In 2022 the group released their first studio album, “Introducing Djangophonique,” which featured Tyler Rindo on Clarinet and won Best Jazz Album, Traditions Award, as well as earning them Artist Of The Year at the WYCE Jammies. In 2023 the group began a new chapter with the addition of vocalist Katie Lynne, who’s soulful approach channels the mystery and appeal of an unplaceable era. Joined by David Bendena on rhythm guitar and Jorian Olk-Szost on upright bass, Djangophonique is poised to forge a connection with an expansive audience through the resonance of their artistry.
Show starts at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
