Short Bio

Half Pint & The Growlers play a road-worn blend of styles they call Swing Gumbo, where vintage jazz meets classic country, jump blues, Latin rhythms, and Western swing. Drawing from deep American roots traditions and the spirit of New Orleans, the Santa Fe–based trio mixes old sounds with originals to create a show that feels timeless, loose, and alive.

Their music moves easily between front-porch swing and dance-hall energy, equally at home in honky tonks, festivals, and late-night barrooms. Wherever they play, the goal is simple: good songs, good grooves, and a room that feels a little closer by the end of the night. Yeah you right!
