The band Merry Mary invites you on a journey through time and continents — from the cobbled streets of Paris to the dance halls of America.

Their program, “Western Swings,” is a fiery mix of swing, refined French manouche, classic dixie, and a touch of jazz standards. It’s a play on words and rhythms — west swing — where lightness, humor, and groove come together to make music that truly swings.

With slide guitar and country fiddle, the band brings the authentic sound of Western swing from the American and Canadian West straight to Ukraine.
It’s jazz that smiles, moves, breathes — and on the Pepper’s stage, it comes fully alive.

Band members:
Maria Kovalenko — violin, vocals
Yuriy Bikbayev — guitar
Hryhoriy Parshyn — slide guitar
Oleksii Kravchenko — piano
Oleksii Filippienkov — double bass
Pavlo Halytskyi — drums

Expect a night of rhythm, warmth, and that unmistakable jazz smile — the kind only swing can give.
