About us.
In the short time of Retro Canary Club’s existence, a buzz about the group has already formed. The Club has been asked to perform at large corporate events, for charity and fundraising endeavors, special public performances, summer festivals, and private events. Retro Canary Club has gained a loyal following in Southern California, taking the live music scene by storm. With this local success, RCC is beginning to branch out to other places in the US.
The Club aims to honor the class and style of an era gone by, choosing to stay within the big band sound and old Hollywood performance flair. Every set the Club performs is a retro love letter to the days of jazz and swing, while also incorporating a contemporary vocal style and song selection.
