DCLX is thrilled to be bringing Josh Lee and the Extended Family back to the Spanish Ballroom. The last DCLXtra with Josh Lee was one of the best-received bands DCLX has featured in recent years. You do not want to miss this night of incredible music, great dancing, and hopefully milder weather.

Josh Lee and the Extended Family is a Philadelphia based ensemble that authentically celebrates the music and the dance of the swing era. Composed of the brightest young musicians in the city, the Extended Family strives to further the 100 year tradition of big band music while honoring its pioneers—Moten, Basie, Lunceford, Fletcher Henderson to name a few. Josh is a grammy winning saxophonist, composer, and arranger, as well as a member of the Count Basie Orchestra and faculty at Temple and Villanova Universities.
