About Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society

Drew Nugent is a jazz musician and composer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His primary instruments are piano, trumpet, voice, and, believe it or not, the tea kettle! Nugent and the band specialize in playing in the traditional “hot” jazz style of the 1920s. His band, known as the Midnight Society, is regarded as one of the best in the business and has been together for over 10 years.

Under Drew’s leadership, they bring forth an authentic, yet original approach to an art form over 100 years old. Nugent’s inspiration comes from a who’s who list of great performers, composers, and musicians, both obscure and known, going back a full century.

Although a lot of this music may seem forgotten in many circles, it is alive and well with Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society.

ABOUT

Josh Lee and the Extended Family

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.
