Lively, witty, and irresistibly charming — The Alvar Treefrogs blend jazz, swing, and vintage flair into performances bursting with character. Whether serenading guests at a garden party or lighting up a festival stage, their musicianship and charisma guarantee smiles wherever they play.
The Alvar Treefrogs is a brand new band 10 years in the making. Born out of an idea to breathe life into music long forgotten, music that made the streets of New Orleans a place to dance and party to in the 20s, 30s and 40s, music that is so hip you’ll want to hop around and dance to it.
The band was born on Alvar Street, New Orleans, where one night, tired and happy, they listened to the Treefrogs singing their song. It then took 8 years to find the right players for the band and to get the music just right. The players needed to swing, sing and love a frog based pun. They found them!!! Ever wanted to sing about eggs and butter, about Garbage Men, about your Aunt Tilly? They are your band!!
The players are average at frog puns but very much the best of the pack as musicians. All the members are busy freaks working across London and further afield. The frogmen have been seen playing with all kinds of people from Quincy Jones through to Pete Tong!
Their gigs are wild adventures into New Orleans culture. They can guarantee a night (or afternoon or late morning for that matter) of wonderful music to dance to, to sing along to, to cuddle and cry to. All of it old but all of it brand new!
Their album, Pondemic, was released in 2023, bringing the band’s playful New Orleans-inspired sound to record. The album captures The Alvar Treefrogs’ characteristic blend of vintage jazz, swing, humour and infectious energy, showcasing the musicianship, character and wonderfully eccentric spirit that define their live performances. click here for more info!
