Upcoming Events

Brad Shigeta and his Swing Time Band

Brad Shigeta was a featured soloist with Duke Ellington Orchestra and Illinois Jacquet Big Band among others. His plunger style of soloing on the trombone is particularly unique and hard-swinging. The Swing Time Band features arrangements of great Basie and Ellington standards and is made for dancing!

It’s a great night to listen to or dance or a bit of both. Come on out and catch up with old friends, and get to know new friends along the way!

There will be three nights of big band swing at the legion this month you will not want to miss!
