WESTERN SWING ALLIANCE
HONORING THE Past. GROWING THE FUTURE.
We’re a community of musicians, dancers, and fans who love Western Swing. The Western Swing Alliance was founded to keep this music thriving for generations to come. With events, recordings, history projects, and educational efforts, we’re here to connect, build, and keep the tradition moving forward. Hop on the WSA bandwagon—it's free—there’s always room for more!
WESTERN SWING ALLIANCE
WHAT IS WESTERN SWING?
Blend Texas frontier fiddle tunes with string-band and hillbilly music, stir in early jazz, swing, and big-band vibe, add a dash of blues, African-American spirituals, jump blues, mariachi, and early country—and out comes the rich, irresistible sound that is Western Swing.
