Acoustic Swing Duo is Chris Bonthron and Marcus Brownell, both playing guitar. Click on photo to enlarge.

Imagine an intimate evening with two acoustic guitars, strumming and picking the rhythms and melodies of jazz standards, and you have the best seats in the house!

These two young men approach the popular songs of the 30s and 40s with great reverence for tradition while adding their own distinctive creative energy.
