Sara Schwabe & Her Yankee Jass Band

About Me

Check out the new article in Eva Magazine: http://evamag.net/
"We tangoed til we were sore" --WUTK 90.3 The Rock (Locals Only Show)--
"Knoxville's mistress of song" --Knoxville Business Journal--
"...stop for at least one evening to appreciate our very own Sara Schwabe. Not only does she make our ears purr every Wednesday when she hypnotically hosts cabaret night (if you ask real nice, you can try your hand at crooning the night away while Sara rests her chords), but she performs with her full Yankee Jass Band at Oodles/Uncorked [Saturdays}." --Amanda Mohney, Halls Shopper News--
"You guys are cool!" and "You rock harder than Metallica!" --the 10 year olds at Concert in the Cove series--
Thanks to everyone who voted in the MetroPulse "Best of Knoxville" editions. Sara Schwabe & Her Yankee Jass Band are thrilled to have earned a Runner-up position in the "Best Jazz Group" category for the 4th year in a row--behind the legendary Donald Brown! (always a bridesmaid...) We're very excited about this news. Thanks for continuing to support us, as well as other Knoxville bands.
