Morgan Day (Head DJ)
Morgan has been swing dancing since 1997, but his love for swing music began well before that. His grandparents loved “jitterbug music”, and he grew up listening to big band greats like Artie Shaw and Glenn Miller. In 2003, after becoming president of the UC Riverside Swing Club, Morgan took up DJing responsibilities at the local weekly swing venue and has never stopped spinning music since. His musical taste is eclectic, playing a variety of songs that fill the dance floor, with a special interest in modern traditional jazz bands that can found at local jazz festivals.
