Nancy's other combos

Emily Reynolds, Jani Little, and Nancy Thorwardson have made music together for many years. Featuring tasteful 3-part harmony vocals and rhythmic jazzy guitar backup, they are accompanied by some of the finest Colorado swing musicians in a variety of combos large and small, depending upon the size of the venue. They bring enthusiasm and humor to performances at coffee houses, clubs, private parties, and festivals.

Emily performs with several local jazz and swing combos, including Deco Django, Paris Swingset, and Savoy Espresso. She plays jazz and gypsy jazz rhythm guitar and focuses on rich vocal interpretations of the swing tunes of the 30s and 40s. She has sung with the vocal trio, The Tritones, for fifteen years.

Jani has been performing in vocal groups for many years and is frequently a featured soloist in her church choir. She performs with the western swing band, the Blue Mountain Ranch Hands.

Nancy is a musician and songwriter who performs in a variety of styles ranging from lively and upbeat western and standard swing to old-timey and Cajun dance music. Nancy has a true talent for composing songs which fit perfectly within the genre, so her original numbers are always highlights of any show.  She performs with the western swing band, the Blue Mountain Ranch Hands and is the leader of the western swing band, The Silver Stars.
