Your Event
Elania and The West Coast Stompers wear zoot suits, vintage ties and dress shoes as standard, but can dress casually if needed. They use only high quality equipment, provide a 500 watt PA (loud enough for most private functions or medium sized public ones), and use vintage style microphones to complete the image. Their PA can be used for playing background music or can be turned up to provide a disco. They also have a small scale lighting set up.

The band can vary the pace and energy of their show depending on what’s required. It’s really down to each occasion and the needs of the audience.

Elania and The West Coast Stomper's can provide fantastic Jazz sets for subtle incidental music for quieter sections of an event. Lineups available are a Jazz Duo (Guitar and Saxophone), Jazz Trio (Guitar, Saxophone and Female Vocals) and a Jazz Quintet (Guitar, Saxophone, Female Vocals, Bass and Drums). Perfect for before the main band, Jazz sets can be performed as 1 x 50 minutes with a huge repertoire of tunes from the great American song book- Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Rogers and Hart and much more (please see booking options for more details)!
