Swing Soleil

SWING SOLEIL
Swing Soleil is an acoustic swing-jazz manouche band based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This quartet plays music ranging from 20th century gypsy jazz to swing standards by

and many others. They play with good humor and love for the music-seeking to inspire
that in audiences of all kinds.
Noted for their fun performances, unique arrangements and stellar musicianship, band
members include Patrick Longmire on lead and rhythm guitar, Hilary Schacht on violin
and voice, Charlotte Overby on double bass, and Steven Simon on rhythm guitar. You
can hear them at many of Northern New Mexico’s best live music venues, or see them

Members of Swing Soleil have performed professionally in the U.S. Southwest since the
1990s, with ensemble members having also shared the stage with many notable
performers including David Grisman, Gonzalo Bergara Quartet, Tony Rice, Mark
O’Connor, Vassar Clements, Alison Krauss, Le Chat Lunatique, Hot Club of Phoenix, and
other great artists.
