The Generation Gap Big Swingin’ Dance Band is a professional band that has been in existence for over twenty years. We are more reasonably priced than most DJ’s or even combos and smaller bands. We are “reasonably priced” because we enjoy playing the big band sound; and in order to do that in today’s economy, we must remain competitively priced.
So why settle for just a DJ or a combo band when you can have the great sounds and impressive vision of a full size big band with five saxes, four trombones, four trumpets and rhythm section (including drums, piano and string bass) at your wedding or dance event… for about the same price.
We are available to perform at any of your special events, dances, concerts, public or private affairs; including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirement parties, company and civic functions.
We are NOT a ‘jazz’ band; we’re a foot tappin’, grab-your-partner and ‘cut-a-rug’ dance and stage band. We perform all the ballroom dance tempos from slow ‘ballads’ to West Coast and East Coast ‘Swing’. We have Sambas, Mambos, Tangos and Cha-Chas. Our repertoire also includes Waltz, Bossa Nova, Classic Rock, Latin Rock, Country Rock, even Dixie and Blues. We can even provide a couple of Polkas and some country ‘line-dances’ if you desire. Our music covers the eras from Benny Goodman to Huey Lewis, Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey to Tijuana Brass and Santana, and much, much more. (We have over 700 titles/charts in our library.)
Although primarily we are an ‘acoustic’ band (which means we don’t need amplification), we do have a great new sound system that an MC (Master-of-Ceremonies) can use, or to fill in (like a DJ) at weddings with specifically requested music for the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances, etc. As band-director, I can and often do… act as the MC and DJ, and I work in conjunction with your wedding planner/coordinator. I also have information I can send you to help with your planning of the ‘reception schedule’ and to help coordinate the activities of your wedding day.
Our sole purpose is to make your event not only memorable, but SPECIAL.
