This show returns again this year, by popular request. 'Drop Me Off In Harlem' is a snapshot of The Jazz Age (1920-1933) and The Swing Era (1933-1947) with theatrical interludes, popular dance styles of the time and some of the finest jazz this side of the Atlantic! With the music as its main focus, the show features a cabaret style performance with songs strung together by either theatrical, factual or musical segues, offering audiences an authentic underground speakeasy experience and the opportunity to discover more about the post-Prohibition era and jazz during the Great Depression.

Taking you back to the golden age of jazz, The Easy Rollers are a roaring seven-piece jazz band performing hits from the speakeasy bars of the Prohibition era. Based in Manchester, and all award-winning musicians, they have had audiences jumpin' and jivin' on dance floors across the country!

The group began to unfold in 2015 when Alex and Dani discovered their mutual interest in traditional jazz. At first, the intention was to play through some tunes for fun but it wasn't long before they invited other musicians to join them, eventually forming a house band for the inaugural Brodsky Jazz Jam, which was the start of The Easy Rollers.

Since then they have been steadily building a reputation as one of the hardest working jazz bands in the north of England, with appearances at Manchester Jazz Festival, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Lake District Summer Music, Buxton Festival, Manchester Day, Brecon Jazz Festival, Marsden Jazz Festival and The Edinburgh Festival Fringe. As well as music festivals, The Easy Rollers have also organised their own UK tours, sharing their enthusiasm for this music through gigs, Lindy Hop events and theatre shows.

Expect to hear songs made famous by artists such as The Boswell Sisters, Ruth Etting, Lee Morse, Annette Hanshaw, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Gene Austin, Margaret Young, Helen Morgan, Paul Whiteman, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Helen Kane and many more.
