Swing Shift, the official Big Band of The Athenaeum in Indianapolis
Swing Shift is a traditional Big Band in the mold of Glenn Miller, Count
Basie, and many other Big Bands of the 1940's and 1950's. Under
the direction of Mr. Matt Pivec, Swing Shift is available for your
wedding, fund raising event, dance or social gathering. We rehearse
at the Athenaeum in Indianapolis and support fund raising efforts for
Not-for-Profits organizations in Indianapolis throughout the year.

Swing Shift is dedicated to preserving traditional American music.

its original members still play in the group. Most of the members
have over 30 years experience on their particular instrument, more
than most bands in the state. Matt Pivec, the Music Director for Swing
Shift brings a refreshing sense of discipline to this venerable group to
maintain the traditions of mid 20th Century Swing Bands.
