Mood Swingers was a Swedish band from Uppsala and started off in the late nineties playing rough acoustic delta blues. At that time there was only three members and at this moment there´s only the leadsinger Anders Söderberg remaining from that time. After some time the band got a bit tired of playin unplugged and felt that the time was right for playing something more upbeat.
2002 Anders had just started to dance Lindy hop and got the taste for swing. His dance partner was Emma and when she told him that she wanted to get into upright bassplaying it didn´t take long before he made a place for her in the band. After that it just took off and they quickly went from a four piece band to a seven piece. They have swapped a few members since then and they now feel that they have a band with the right groove they been looking for.
Sweet Emma & The Mood Swingers are not afraid off any type of music. They are blending swing, r n´b and blues and are simply playing the music that they like without getting stuck in any genre. Their aim is basicly to make people have a great night out both on the dance floor and when sippin´cocktails in the bar.
The debut album from Emma and The Mood Swingers, More contains a sweet mix between rhythm'n'blues and swing. The arrangements and interpretations of the old music are awesome. Dancers cheer at it. This is really dance music. Emma and The Mood Swingers have their own, genuine sound with the authentic retro feel with a modern side to it. Seeing the band live you get smithen by their overflowing joy on stage Emma and The Mood Swingers express. Out of the 13 cuts on More 4 are written by the band.
