Assures 100% Customer Satisfaction!

Q. Why is the time right for a swing/ballroom band?

A. It’s time to re-create the excitement and extraordinary performances of the famous Cotton Club in New York. In the early decades of the 1900s, only the rich and famous were allowed to enter to hear the best in black entertainment from greats like Cab Calloway and Duke Ellington. Now, we’re playing all those classics, with the quality sound and big-stage impact, for everyone to enjoy.

Q. Why did you launch Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters?

A. All of the musicians in the band felt the same way I did about Swing and Jazz – it's time to bring the Big-Band sound back to the stage in contemporary glory! Personally, I started my career playing with a big-band, and I was lucky enough to touch some of the greats – including Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie – who helped me along the way. I've been looking for a way to "graduate," and play the music I love on a professional level. If you ask any member of the band, they'll say the same thing – Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters is preparation meeting opportunity.

Q. What should potential customers know about booking Big Swing and the Ballroom Blasters?

A. We will bend over backwards – and sideways – to make their event meet every expectation they have. Our music and ballrooom show will blow their guests away and help them create sweet memories while boogin' around the dance floor. We deliver 100% satisfaction.
