Gentlemen, grab your tuxedos, ladies put on your String of Pearls and Let's Dance. Your evening will be Unforgettable as we Strike Up the Band. When you're In the Mood to take that Sentimental Journey, Sophisticated Swing is ready to serve you.

George Petrich is pleased to present... Sophisticated Swing, the area's newest 18 piece swing band. As he has done many times, George has gathered a talented bunch of musicians from all parts of Northeastern Ohio. Their job, to make your affair the most enjoyable evening you have ever experienced. The band's playlist features a long and varied selection of music, from the big bands of the great swing era to the contemporary music from bands of the post-war era.

Sophisticated Swing is not just your average dance band. We do have a lead vocalist, the wonderful Sarah Walker, but do not be surprised to find another member of the band stepping out from behind their music to give you a treat at the microphone. We also enjoy playing pieces that require the appearance of The Sophisticated Singers, a collective ensemble of singers that will bring back the sounds of the old big band vocal groups, like the Modernaires or the Pied Pipers - just a little something to make your night special.
