About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
THE BIG BAND EXPRESS has enjoyed a long and rich history in performing big band music in the state of Michigan and surrounding areas. We typically play at weddings, fundraisers, anniversary parties and other celebrations. Some of our performances have included the Michigan State Fair and Henry Ford/Greenfield Village. The Big Band Express specialty is in the Big Band Era from the Forties and Fifties and we have charts from artists such as Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Woody Herman, Harry James, Count Basie, Billy May, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Henry Mancini, Les Brown, Les & Larry Elgart and other big band greats. We work closely with our clients so that their event is as specialized to their musical tastes as possible. There is also an eight piece band and jazz trio.
