Upcoming DJ engagements:
Kate Hedin - DJ
Kate fell into DJing, in 2003, at the legendary Spy Bar in Cleveland,
Ohio --usually filling in last minute when Marty & Valerie forgot they
were out of town. This quickly turned into a regular gig for Kate.
While living in Cleveland, she also DJed frequently for the
Get Hep
Swing monthly dances. And in 2004, with the opening of the new
weekly venue, Kings Court Jam, she became a fetured DJ. On her
trips home to Atlanta, Kate often DJed at ASEDA
monthly dances. And from 2005-2006 she was a House DJ at
Hot Jam,
Atlanta's Monday night venue.
In Sept. of 2005, Kate demonstrated her skills as a balboa DJ at
Bal Jam,
in Atlanta, GA, and recently she was head DJ for both the
Down South Camp Meeting (Feb. 2006)
and Atlanta Varsity Showdown (Oct. 2006).
Some of her favorite artists to play include: Django, Sidney Bechet,
Basie, Artie Shaw, Fats Waller, Ella, Benny Goodman, and
also such modern bands as: The Boilermaker Jazz Band, Titan Hot Seven, and
Phil Ogilvie's Rhythm Kings.
Catch Kate spinning regularly at DC's famous Jam Cellar,
as well as for the new fourth Friday of the month Bal Night.
Bobby White - MC
Bobby got his start MC-ing for the famous LCA Charity "Bachelorette"
Auction at Sewannee University, where his combination of vaudeville
wit and heart-wrenching speeches inspired hundreds of women to bid on
men dressed like hairy women. He also starred as the Emcee in a professional
production of Cabaret, so there's that. Since then, he was the Master
of Ceremonies for the Hot Jam dance club in Atlanta for 2 years, as
well as at the Bal Jam event each year, though he is still looking
for the perfect combination of MC skills to inspire hundreds of lindy
dancers to bid on men dressed like hairy women.
Bobby White - DJ
Bobby got his start DJing for the famous LCA parties at Sewannee
University, where his selection of Stevie Wonder and Madonna
sent freshmen into epileptic seizures of excitement and would
inevitably leave them running around the house wearing nothing
but a beer funnel. He also DJed a vintage radio program at his
college radio station which he knows at least one person listened
to (it was a college of 1200, after all). Since then, he has DJed at
numerous dances and is still looking to find the perfect song
combination to send Lindy dancers running around the venue
wearing nothing but a beer funnel.
Bobby has spun at such events including
Atlanta Varsity Showdown (Oct. 2006),
Down South Camp Meeting (Feb. 2006),
Bal Jam (Sept. 2005),
and Chatta-Atl-Nash-Knox-Nooga-Ville (2004, '05, '06). He has also been a regular DJ of the
ASEDA monthly dances, the
GATech monthly dances,
and a House DJ for Hot Jam,
Atlanta's Monday night venue. His favorites to spin are Count
Basie, Sidney Bechet, Benny Goodman, Willie Bryant, Slim,
Slam, and Django, with particular emphasis on lasting dance classics.
