Half Pint & The Growlers play a road-worn mash of styles they call Swing Gumbo, where swing simmers in jump blues, Latin boleros, and a twist of twang. Drawing from the spirit of New Orleans and deep American roots traditions, the Santa Fe–based trio mixes originals with old sounds to create a show that feels timeless, tight yet loose, and very much alive. Wherever they play, the goal is simple: good songs, good grooves, and a room and crowd that feels a little closer by the end of the night.

Notable performances: The Santa Fe Beer and Food Festival, The Five Points Jazz Festival, Evenings al Fresco at Denver Botanic Gardens, Boulder Creek Hometown Festival, Longmont Winter Walkabout Music Showcase, Derby Day at Denver Union Station, and the Boulder International Film Festival’s Closing Night Festivities.
