Friday, November 8th Space City Big Band will be playing in Baytown Town Square! The square is located at 213 West Texas Avenue (77520) in Baytown. (More information HERE.)
Baytown hosts some great music programs in their town square throughout the year and we are happy to be joining them. In honor of Veteran’s Day weekend we will be re-living the USO tradition with the classic big band sounds of the 30’s and 40’s as well as covering many other popular selections.
The band will be playing from 7-9pm and will be joined by vocalist Raquel Cepeda a singer/songwriter known throughout the Houston area!
The city will be serving up free popcorn and hot dogs and will be hosting some outdoor games for everyone to enjoy. There is limited seating available so you may want to bring a blanket or lawn chair. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
The band had a great year, playing for the Houston 100 Dance Club, Freedom Sunday at Gloria Dei, supporting the Paws For A Cause Event in Nassau Bay…but we really got to go out in a bang!
We played the December Party for the Houston 100 Club which was a fantastic time as it always is. We greatly appreciate playing for this event and are so very thankful for their ongoing support!
And we ended the year on a very special event…the Wedding Reception for Jamie and Chris Angelo! The party was held at The Trolley Station on the Strand in Galveston. It was a great place to play and the hospitality of the Jamie and Chris and there family and guests made it one of the bands favorite gigs! Thank you so much to all of you!
We also had the pleasure of working with Jace Tietjens at Jitters & Cocktails Event Planning. She made everything super easy for us. We greatly appreciate her help and would recommend her for anyone planning an event!
Here are some photos of the band from that evening. Thanks again to all!
Thanks to the folks at Gloria Dei for hosting us again this year for Freedom Sunday at the church! Gloria Dei generously supplies us our rehearsal space and we thank you them tremendously for that! Here are some photos from this year’s event.
Wanted to let everyone know we will be playing an event that is open to the public on April 1, 2017.
We will be playing for a fundraiser for the Nassau Bay Animal Shelter a small donation-supported animal shelter run by the City Of Nassau Bay.
The event will run from 11am-3pm and the band will be playing from around noon until 2:30. It takes place at the Lake Nassau Park Pavilion at the end of Upper Bay Road off of Nasa Rd 1.
It’s a great, and increasingly rare chance for family and friends of the band to hear our great music outside of a private function. There will food available and refreshments, along with many fun pet related activities! There will also be tours of the facility and many wonderful dogs and cats that are looking for a happy new home!
So come on out! We would love to see you and appreciate your support for a great local cause!

Space City Big Band got a chance to play again for our friends at South Main Baptist Church. It was a fun event as they had party on the front lawn. We enjoyed it all and especially enjoyed playing LaBamba when all the kids joined us on the stage acting as our auxiliary percussionists!
Here’s a few photos and a video with one of our vocalists, Jerri Brezik. Thanks to everyone there for your hospitality and we will look forward to next time!!
A quick thanks to the folks at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. We got a chance to play for their Freedom Sunday activities again this year. Thanks so much for your support of the band, we always are happy to play for you!
Space City Big Band had a fun night playing for a party for the Texas Chemical Council. They were holding a trade get together at the Moody Gardens and held a great event at The Lone Star Flight Museum to provide an evening of entertainment for their attendees. The theme was geared towards USO/WWII era, which was a perfect fit for us and all the amazing historical aircraft at the museum.
Special thanks to the folks at the museum, we always enjoy playing there, and our hosts, for a sweet setup and generous hospitality!
Here’s a few more tunes from one of our recordings. These feature our vocalist!

The Space City Big Band had the distinct pleasure of entertaining the fine membership of the 100 Dance Club at the Houston Country Club. The group has been active in the Houston Area for decades and gets together for a semi-annual celebration to dine, socialize and do some dancing. We thank everyone in the club and at the Houston Country Club for their gracious hospitality! Here’s a few (blurry) photos from the event! (Thanks to our guest soundman Rene Martinez for the snapshots.)
