Eight to the Bar

This Valentine’s Day, join us for a night of unforgettable music and dancing with Eight to the Bar at Jonathan's Ogunquit! Renowned for their vibrant mix of swing, jazz, jump blues, Motown, and their own original tunes, Eight to the Bar delivers a show full of energy, style, and heart.

From their unforgettable female vocals to the dynamic saxophone (played by Collin Tilton, known for his work on Van Morrison’s Moondance), and the rest of the band’s seasoned musicians, this sextet promises to keep you moving all night. Whether you're a fan of the 1940s swing era, the soul of Motown, or the upbeat rhythms of the blues, there’s something for everyone on their eclectic setlist.

Formed in 1975, Eight to the Bar has gained a devoted following, performing at clubs from Maine to Miami, Europe, and the Caribbean. Their music exudes the same sense of fun and sophistication that has earned them accolades like Best All-Around Band and tours including performances at the U.S. Embassy in Georgia. Their latest album, The Light Fantastic, celebrates the art of dance, making this the perfect soundtrack for your Valentine’s celebration.

Don’t miss out on a special evening as Eight to the Bar takes the stage at Jonathan's Ogunquit.
