DESCRIPTION:Step into a sonic time machine where the Roaring ’20s collide with the digital age.

With sizzling horn lines\, vintage samples\, and cutting-edge beats\, Good Co creates an irresistible groove that gets everyone moving. Beyond the stage\, Good Co offers engaging workshops\, school shows\, and residencies. And if you need a set of traditional swing\, they can cover that\, too! As Dance Music NW puts it: “It takes courage to push the boundaries of the genres you love”—and Good Co does just that.
