We don't book too many Saturday evening performances, but when we do, we take the show to Fern Valley Farms! The band is excited to be making our debut at this fantastic establishment in Wilbraham. We are prepared to show them how we do it - big band style!
For those who may be unfamiliar with us - first of all - where have you been?? Just kidding... Making new friends and fans is what we love to do! We have close to 1000 followers here on FB and YOU can Like and Follow our page to help us hit this milestone!
We are a modern-style 19-piece jazz big band based out of Northampton, MA. The band has won the "Best Live Jazz" category in the Hampshire Gazette Readers' Poll for the past 4 years and counting. We were founded in 2012 and have been bringing our unique style to Western & Central MA for many years.
When most people hear "big band", they may think of such names as Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, or others from the 1930's and 40's. It's true that our foundation lies with these fine groups, but we are most certainly not your grandparents' big band. While we do our best to represent the big bands of decades past, it's not uncommon to hear us play such crowd favorites as Uptown Funk, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Isn't She Lovely, Pick Up the Pieces, and 25 or 6 to 4, amongst many others. We also have tunes from the likes of Michael Bublé, Natalie Cole, Adele, Norah Jones, Tower of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, and even Guns 'N' Roses. We are sure to have something for everybody's listening pleasure!
Please join us at Fern Valley and help us convince them that they most definitely need to keep us in their regular rotation of bands!
