Swing Shift Orchestra @ Green Mill

Some nights you just gotta dance! To find the "best of the big band" sound, head out to the Green Mill for the Alan Gresik Swing Shift Orchestra, a 16-piece band that really lets it cook every Thursday night. Music gets jumping from 9pm-1am and it's only a $6 cover. The Green Mill is hard to miss at Broadway and Lawrence.
