Michael Vanhevel
Michael Vanhevel is a celebrated entertainer from right here in southwestern Ontario who specializes in the smooth stylings of the great “Crooners” of the 50’s and 60’s. He has performed on stages across Canada, and with symphonies, orchestras and big bands in Halifax, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Lethbridge and many more – including right here in London.
The Jitterbugs
The Jitterbugs are a swingin’ combo that takes that sound and feel and puts it all together in a way that grabs you, daddio. They can whip up a dance floor frenzy just like outta some movie. It’s a scene! Big vocals, horns a’plenty and swingy rhythms that do it up just right. This band is jumpin’ with a solid 8.
