Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society + Band in Philadelphia, PA

ABOUT

Eclectic and eccentric but perfectly period the Midnight Society exudes the essence of 1920's and 30's American jazz to a tee. The instruments, performers, and style of performance go beyond mimicking the era and, instead, capture it excellently.
