Bobby Henrie and the Goners!
New Year's Eve Party: BASWA organized the 1st Annual "Swing In the New Year" at the historic German House Theater on Gregory Street. The event opened to the public with ticket sales and a silent auction to cover costs. A portion of each ticket sold was donated to The Center For Youth Services, and additional proceeds from the event helped BASWA continue neighborhood beautification and promotion.

About Bobby Henrie & The Goners:  "Rarefied jazz swing from Rochester's legendary red-hot trio! Vintage rock-n-roll, 30's & 40's swing tunes, played by a tight threesome with a superbly danceable beat! Virtuoso guitar, throbbing rhythm section, smooth vocals! Bobby Henrie is a performer of exceptional ability and range. With an unorthodox (flipped lefty) guitar technique, he can rip through a heady brew of raw roots rock, blistering flatpicking, smokin’ blues and smooth jazz. Bobby’s vocals are heartfelt and true to each song, whether it’s tough rockin’ or sultry swing. The Goners add their special brand of rhythm with killer slappin’ bass (Brian Williams) and soulful jumpin’ drums (Jim Symonds) creating just the right groove for each tune. Their performances offer a hot mix of rarefied songs and instrumentals played with excitement, freshness and finesse. Listeners and dancers alike will not be disappointed."
