Indigo Swing

The retro-swing unit Indigo Swing were formed in San Francisco around
the sextet of vocalist John Boydston
("Johnny Boyd"), guitarist Josh Workman,
bassist Vance Ehlers, drummer "Big Jim" Overton, pianist William Beatty
and saxophone player Baron Shul. After kick-starting northern
California's new school of swing, the group began touring around
America and Europe performing 250-300 days per year. They performed all
around the world as headliners and as opener for The Brian Setzer
Orchestra's sold-out U.K. and U.S. tours. In 1997, former Arista
Records exec. and manager of pop group No Doubt, Jim Guerinot, signed
Indigo Swing to his label, Time Bomb Recordings. After two records on
the label and many tours later, Johnny Boyd decided to take a break and
left to pursue other interests. The remaining band members decided to
continue on with a new vocalist,
Nicole Vigil, and although no further
recordings were made, the group toured for another couple of years
before disbanding for good in late 2001.
In addition to the groups own albums, they have been featured on television and film soundtracks, including Three to Tango (1999) and The Bachelor (1999).
