The ten-piece South Shore Syncopators Dance Orchestra and their roster of fine vocalists bring the era of radio back to life in RADIO NIGHTS, a "remote broadcast" performance featuring the music of Paul Whiteman, Ted Weems, Bing Crosby, Al Jolson and others.

Enjoy the you-are-there feeling as they recreate a 1929 remote broadcast complete with announcer, period-style commercials, comedic banter and, of course, the great music of the time. With songs such as "I Wanna Be Loved by You," "By a Waterfall" and "You Oughta Be in Pictures."

Happy Days are indeed here again with the South Shore Syncopators and RADIO NIGHTS.

The South Shore Syncopators are dedicated to performing the music of the pre-swing decade of 1924-1934 and play only from authentic printed scores of the time. Doug Ramsey, jazz critic for JazzTimes and Downbeat has said of the band, "The musicianship and verve of The South Shore Syncopators infuse a special spirit that takes their playing beyond preservation of the past into the realm of music that thrives in the present." If you want to hear what the 1920s and 30s truly sounded like, the South Shore Syncopators Dance Orchestra does not imitate the music of the time; they recreate it, bringing it vividly to life for a whole new generation of music lovers.
