Rhythm Capital is a Canberra-based swing band.
Swing music from its golden age and beyond is the focus of Rhythm Capital, a Canberra band built around music for dancing. Louis Armstrong, Chick Webb, Artie Shaw and Count Basie provide reference points as you consider the sound for your wedding reception. The full five piece format offers a party feel, while four, three and two piece versions provide a more background approach. You could consider the smaller formats for drinks, then discuss which musical scale matches the rest of your celebration. That choice of two to five musicians lets you shape the performance size while keeping Rhythm Capital's swing identity at the centre.
Watch Rhythm Capital perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

The band turns up dressed for the occasion and is set up and ready before your first guests arrive, which is a small courtesy that says a lot about how the rest of the night will go. Their sound rig comfortably covers about 100 people, and stretches further than that when the music is sitting in the background rather than driving a dance floor. Swing dancers get material they can actually dance to. Everyone else just ends up tapping along.
Power, and roughly five metres by five of floor. That's the whole list. The band carries its own sound rig, which covers a room of about a hundred people comfortably, and stretches past that when the music is sitting behind conversation rather than driving a dance floor. Nothing to organise, nothing to hire, no technician standing around waiting.
Five pieces is the party version. Strip it back to four, three or two and the same repertoire turns into background music, which suits a dinner or a cocktail hour better than a full band ever will.
