Van Morrison's Moondance, featuring Colin Tilton with Connecticut's Eight to the Bar. Tilton played the original flute solo on the hit record!

The inimitable groove of Eight to the Bar started in 1975, and has been unstoppable as a force in the genre, hosting the best parties, for generations of swing dancers, ever since. They're a scene staple, a household name. Cynthia Lyons, lead vocalist and keyboardist, started the band with her three sisters, and they have toured full time since then, touring Europe 3 times and with a catalog of eleven CDs. They've won a long list of awards, and are renown for their consistency, musicianship and vocal skills.
