Singer
and actress, Gail Gallagher, is best known for her cabaret shows in which she
combines song and narrative that transform beloved songs into lively theatrical
pieces. Each show is a timeless journey through romance and nostalgia,
featuring the musical best of Hollywood, Broadway and the Big Bands. 



 “Sweet
Swing” is another of Gail’s spirited celebrations of the American Songbook.
Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers and Glenn
Miller and his Orchestra are some of the musical magicians that wrote the songs
that hitched the rhythm of our bodies to the longings of our heart. Come tap
and sway to the sounds of “The Swing Era”!
