Meet The Swingin’ Palms!

““Infusing facets of classic Hawaiian, Tiki, Exotica, and Surf genres into a sound that’s authentic and distinct.””

Who are The Swingin’ Palms?

—

Direct from the shores of the Hudson River, The Swingin' Palms blend the most rousing aspects of vintage Hawaiian, Exotica, and Surf music. Led by Graham Tichy on Hawaiian steel guitar and Don Young on ukulele, The Swingin' Palms present a mix of original music, Hapa Haole rarities, and forgotten gems reconceived in a style that's both authentic and fresh.

In 2019, The Swingin’ Palms released a 45 RPM EP of four original songs on Hi-Tide Recordings, the world’s foremost label of surf, tiki, and exotica music.

Members of The Swingin’ Palms frequently perform with internationally recognized groups, including Los Straitjackets, Nick Lowe, The Lost Planet Airmen, GOONS!, and The Outta Sites.
