Featuring The Pearly Shells + James Henry 

Over more than 15 years, The Pearly Shells have gained a reputation as one of Melbourne’s premier jazz, swing and RnB bands with a classic style and look reminiscent of the Golden Age of Basie, Goodman, Ellington and Brother Ray Charles.

Famous for their swingin’ back beat sound and Hollywood-style, luminescent clam-shell stands, The Pearlys have been providing atmospheric soundtracks and irresistible dance grooves in bars, clubs, festivals and dancehalls for years.
