Unforgettable Big Band

Unforgettable Big Band delivers versatility. Planning a swing dance, we've got you covered. Traditional ballroom, we can do that. Looking for a specialty show, or tribute, we can do that too. We specialize in the music of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr. and other crooners of the Rat Pack, as well as Doris Day, and other legendary performers.

We also play music from before the 1930's swing era, and after up to the present day: pop, rock, patriotic, sacred, and even opera. Aretha Franklin, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Chicago, Queen, Bon Jovi, and so much more!

Unforgettable Big Band can provide sound and lighting to make your event a success. Talk to us about your specific needs, and if we can handle it, we will, or we will give you some suggestions on who can provide everything we can't.

Generally we require a stage width of at least 25-30 feet, and a depth of 20 feet. We can make arrangements for unusual stage sizes and sets, and we have risers to facilitate stage extensions, or setup at floor level.

We require two clean 110 volt circuits, and will pull less than 20 amps under most conditions. Larger sound and lighting venue requirements may increase this.
