HOT GRAVEL ESKIMOS

The ``Hot Gravel Eskimos” revalue the pleasure of the jazz tradition with the execution of a musical repertoire of known and less known songs from the ’30 and the ’40 with the use of historical instruments, authentic live recreations from the old recordings on 78s and last but not least, the use of looks and a stage presence inspired by the fashions of the ``Swing era” and they will be with us for Friday and Saturday night.

EDDIE ROCKET DJ

Having Enrico Dondadello, a.k.a. “DJ Eddie Rocket”, on the mixer means never knowing precisely where his time machine will take you. What you can be sure about is that, wherever he takes you, he will make you feel comfortable. He always plays the right song, the one that frees your mind, loosens your muscles, move, and allows you to have a blast. A passionate swing music expert, “Eddie” is always looking for new records to add to his unique and rich collection! Lucky are all the dancers who get to hear his music on the dance floor.
