Nothing like a swing party and we got one chalked full of foot stomping, country twang and rockabilly to make you kick up your boots!

Formed in 2018, the group has developed a solid repertoire of Wanda Jackson hits and deep cuts, featuring Amanda White, a vocal powerhouse and compelling band leader. They also put their own stamp on cool cuts by Patsy Cline, Barbara Mandrell and Johnny Cash.

Boots & Needles combines the talents of Lauren Asheim and Dallas Cornell and features Old and New Country Blues, Traditional, and Rockabilly vibes. You may recognize Lauren from past bands including, The Hula Peppers, Slippery People and Lady Date. She has also trod the boards as an actor and vocalist all over the Twin Cities including the Guthrie Theater, the History Theater, Mixed Precipitation and more. Dallas brings a wealth of musical skills and an eye for design to the duo and has played with The Cornells, The Changeups, and numerous ska and punk outfits back in California. Known as the "human metronome" and a skilled sewing machinist, he is full of surprises. They aim to share their love of all things country and blues, sparkles and dirt, and maybe a few more unexpected pairings along the way…
