Swing Music at Club Red SwingClub Red Swing is a Lindy Hop club. It's for lindy hop dancers and we play lindy hop music. This ranges from Big Band to Jazz to Oldies (50s & 60s) to Rockabilly to blues. DJ Slam is the main DJ and he also runs the night with Josh. DJ Slam can take a crowd way outside of the genre while making them feel comfortable and then bring the back. It sounds weird but you just have to be there to experience it. Possible DJs at Club Red Swing  DJ Slam Some blame it on an accidental overdose of gamma radiation. Others say it was a bite from a musically gifted spider. Or maybe it was just something in the cafeteria food. How else does one explain Chad Lawson's transformation in a few short years from Purdue computer engineering major with no musical background, to composer/performer/conductor/songwriter with two invitations to perform with a choir at Carnegie Hall under his belt? Chad may have been a late bloomer musically, but he has more than made up for it. After convincing the music department at Drake University to take a chance on him, he quickly surpassed many of his classmates in theory and composition. He just couldn't get enough, and within two years, he was performing with Drake's top tier jazz ensemble, which got invited to perform at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and going on tours of the U.S. and Europe with the choir. Later, he would go on to study 16th Century counterpoint technique (yes, really) at the Cleveland Institute of Music, immersing himself in classical composition for eight hours a day, producing a fugue every week. Who is this guy? Thanks to his programming background, Chad knows his way around a computer keyboard as well as a musical one. He's also a fan of Django Reinhardt and getting in touch with the inner Chad. Occasionally answers to the name, "Big Daddy C". Who better to DJ a swing night than someone who's actually played the charts?! More info about Chad Michael Lawson |
