Kyle Reid leads his band, The Low Swinging Chariots, in a joyful revelry of original swing tunes that draw from New Orleans, Gypsy Jazz, and Western Swing traditions. Reid’s original tunes sound at once familiar yet new and exciting, blending elements of these classic American forms with contemporary attitude. The low sonorous quality of Reid’s voice is well balanced by the hot accents of the rhythm section and the sweet melodies of the brass section. The band's new album, "Alright, Here We Go..." is a rambunctious romp through the trials of a young man making trouble for himself and praying to the gods of swing (Armstrong, Reinhardt, Prima, Waller, et. al.) to once again save him from the depths of despair. The music, time and time again, lifts the band members and listeners out of the mire of everyday drudgery into a tent revival of glorious swinging sound. Kyle Reid and the Low Swinging Chariots are in the business of uplifting their listening audience and compelling them to have as much fun as the band itself.
