VETERANS DAY CONCERT WITH THE NOTABLES SWING BAND

Tower Theatre
835 NW Wall St, Bend, OR 97701
COST: Reserved Seating: $8, $13, $18

The Notables Swing Band brings back the “golden oldies” from the Big Band era when swing ruled the dance floors. Many of our band members remember those full sounds and infectious rhythms and in 2010 our band was formed to recreate this great music. Swing has been enjoying a resurgence and we are excited to be part of that in Central Oregon. We play to renew the memories of that music for those who used to dance to swing and, importantly, we play to draw in completely new generations. And we want those who come to our events to have as much fun as we do playing for them! This Veteran’s Day, join the Notables with featured guest Betty Berger, for an evening to remember.
