The Doctor’s Elixir Of Dance

Arts, Music, Performing Arts

Dr Crask & His Swingin’ Elixir are a little big-band playing the dance floor standards of the 30’s, 40’s, and there-abouts!  to get you up and dancing the Lindy Hop!

Bandleader Greg Craske and Vocalist Jen Salisbury visited the Bent Notes studio to chat about performing the much-loved music of Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Prima, and their upcoming show at the Marysville Jazz and Blues Weekend.

Greg is also taking a workshop during the weekend where he will be teaching the solo dance the ‘Shim-Sham’, giving attendees a taste of how to move to the well know song ‘It ain’t what you do its the way that you do it“.  During the band’s show those who attended the workshop are invited to get up and dance with Greg as the band plays the song.

Dr Crask & His Swingin’ Elixir (Greg Craske and Jen Salisbury) were guests of Bent Notes on Sunday September 23, 2018
