About Us

Naomi Uyama was an international swing dance champion searching for the perfect band - original but authentic - in the pocket but bringing the party. After searching the world over she took it upon herself to form "Naomi & Her Handsome Devils" from her favorite musicians in New Orleans, NYC, Seattle, and Chicago. Put them all together and you have a modern band with a vintage sound that is swinging dance floors around the world.

​

"Nothing but good music, never ironic or post-modern, neither copying

nor satirizing, just beautifully crafted melodic swing."
