Short Bio

Half Pint & The Growlers play a road-worn mash of styles they call Swing Gumbo, where swing simmers in vintage jazz, 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.
