Bashore on drums, Art Kraatz on upright bass, Taryn Donath on piano and Nathan James on guitar.  Ruby Presnell made a special appearance lending her grace and beauty and talent to the show with a little bit of rumba and jazz.  The stars of the evening were definitely Eric Lieberman and Alicia Aragon who together are the cornerstone of this much loved band.  The dance floor was constantly all in motion for every jump blues, jazz and swing tune played this amazing night.
