Terence McArdle and Jumpin' Tonight

About Me

Terence McArdle and Jumpin' Tonight: a jump r'n'b dance band with one of the best horn sections on the East Coast. We emphasize real rockin' and jumpin' dance music -- a mix of r'n'b and rock'n'roll, blues, swing jazz and even be-bop. Our fans include swing dancers, roots music lovers, and even those snobby blues purists who hate most contemporary blues. Jumpin' Tonight plays NO cartoony neo-swing music -- only the real stuff. We don't follow fashion and we're not your cousin Joey's movie fantasy of rat pack Vegas. But we will rock you with our big city jump blues.
