Swing Machine will provide perfect background music during dinner for your guests, then swing into an evening of great music that will keep your guests on the dance floor all night! Swing Machine also provides DJ music (on request) during band breaks. So from start to finish, your entertainment package is complete! Swing Machine's Master of Ceremonies and Band Leader, Geoff Peterson, has over 25 years in the Washington DC commercial radio and entertainment experience. He has emceed hundreds of wedding receptions, corporate events and other functions including events on the Washington Monument grounds, Sylvan Theatre and the former Capital Center while working as an on-air announcer for Washington radio stations such as WAVA, Q-107, WPGC and WMZQ. Listen to our audio samples, then compare Swing Machine to any other band, and decide for yourself. Without a question, we are the DC area's Premier Big Band!
