Swedish Jam Factory- The Lantern Series at Elm Street Cultural Arts Village Event Green

Swedish Jam Factory is a tap dance/music duo based in Los Angeles, California, pioneering a new hybrid of tap dance and musical expression. Imagine a Gene Kelly/ Donald OConnor duo, but instead of a good old fashioned Singin in the Rain traditional musical theatre tap break, theyre playing bluegrass instruments, saxophone, accordion, piano, and more. Its a show of quick-footed, rhythmic, melodic expression- an explosion of physical, musical energy. Who needs a drummer when you have tap shoes?!Thomas Bergstig from Stockholm, Sweden, and Isaac Middleton from Harlan, KY met while working on musical theater projects together in Memphis, TN. What started as tapping to kill time on breaks took on a life of its own. Its exciting, its novel, it doesnt make much sense, and its a little hard to explain. But what SJF knows is that its fascinating and captivating to both create and watch.Formed in 2016 the duo has been playing clubs in the US and appearing on television in Sweden and Germany. A debut album is in the works and the band continues to make videos that have the internet buzzing. They would love it if you came to a show and bring them bags of Swedish Fish which, coincidentally, are made in the USA!
