The Dukes of Wail, one of Ohio's premier bands, blends Jump Blues, Big Band Style Jazz and Classic Vocal Standards into a sophisticated yet dynamic live entertainment experience. Noted for their style and musicianship, the Dukes of Wail were recently voted by music fans as one of the top four "Live Shows" in Northeast Ohio and won a "Best Of" in the Cleveland Free Times. For an evening of dancing or simply listening, The Dukes of Wail is one of the hottest bands in the Midwest! As seen live on The Morning Exchange (WEWS-5, ABC TV), this highly respected band presents a tour de force in Classic American Popular Music, showcasing the music of legends such as Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, and Duke Ellington. Additionally, The Dukes of Wail specialize in early Rhythm and Blues styles that prevailed just before the advent of Rock & Roll, music asscoiated with perfomers such as Louis Jordan and Louie Prima. Active since 1998, they have played to packed clubs, concert halls and ballrooms throughout the Midwest, including Cincinnati, Buffalo, and Chicago.
