Swing Dance Band
Welcome to your favorite chocolate selection:
Braun’s Chocolate!
Since their founding in 2016, Verena Braun and Markus Bak, with their band “Braun’s Chocolate,” have been bringing fresh energy to the swing dance scene. What started as a trio quickly grew into an established sextet, known not only in Hamburg but also beyond the city’s borders.
In the tradition of swing and jazz music as dance music, the “Chocolates” interpret well-known jazz standards as well as their own compositions—always with a personal touch. Verena has a special fondness for unusual instruments: whether it’s chord solos on the ukulele, spontaneous kazoo performances, or percussion on the washboard, she gives the sound a distinctive character.
The rest of the band matches her in playfulness and creativity. With their sparkling mix of improvisation, humor, and captivating groove, they get every dance floor swinging and guarantee no feet remain still.
.
We are happy to play at your party, wedding, workshop event, swing dance party. It is possible to adjust the size of the band to your requirement. We can play as duo, trio, quartet …For booking please feel free to send an email or give us a call!
