Thursday Swing! Stumptown Swing is a beloved Portland-based ensemble known for their gypsy jazz and swing with a distinct 1920s Paris vibe. Leading the charge are Tim Connell (mandolin and voice) and Mike Burdette (guitar), backed by Ben Blechman on violin and Keith Brush on upright bass. Marketed as Portland's #1 Swing Dance Party Band, they bring regular dance-friendly performances to the region, tying closely to the local Lindy Hop and Balboa communities. Their debut album, Stumptown Swing, released in 2014, is attributed to Tim Connell & Mike Burdette and features tracks like J’attendrai and Nuages that capture their vintage-inspired sound.
