Caledonia Swing is an Atlanta-based band performing their unique style of traditional and contemporary Celtic music with occasional 30’s/40’s swing tunes thrown in for fun. The musical style of Caledonia Swing was inspired by the sweet sounds of Scotland as well as swing jazz greats Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grapelli. The band’s music ranges from elegant to toe tapping and raucous. Caledonia Swing brings its musical talents, love for improvisation and infectious energy to stages throughout the Atlanta area.

Caledonia Swing has a new band member, Hollis Landrum, who recently moved to Newnan from Mississippi. Hollis will be playing upright bass with us and he is a gifted musician on a variety of instruments, including mountain dulcimer, hammer dulcimer, Celtic harp, and bouzouki. Hollis is also a nationally-known teacher, performer and recording artist.
