Fri July 26 Swanky Kitchen Band on the Boathouse Lawn 6pm
Swanky Kitchen Band is on an essential quest to revive the traditional music of the Cayman Islands. Set amidst the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, the three tiny islands are home to Kitchen Dance Music, an infectiously danceable fiddle-driven style. The 10-piece group includes a fiddle, a kitchen grater, guitars, harmonica, a rock-solid rhythm section and vocalists telling stories of the old and new Cayman.
