Walton Wedding, HCC and Goodbye 2017

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!

SCBB Plays for the 100 Dance Club at the Houston Country Club

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.)

Space City Big Band Plays For Harbourview Residents

This Christmas season the band had a chance to join the folks at Harbourview Care Center in South Shore.  We got a chance to play some of our Christmas music repertoire and entertain some folks who we knew would enjoy our music!

We all had a great time and thanks to Charlotte Arevalo for coordinating the event and to everyone there for making us feel so welcome.  We will look forward to coming back!

SCBB Filmed For Documentary

In May 2012 we had the opportunity to perform for an indie documentary being filmed called “A Marvelous Era.” The film makers were travelling across the United States to capture live performances of many big bands and to interview and discuss with musicians the current state of the genre in our country. The final film will contain some excellent and rare vintage footage that will contrast and compare the big band music and groups of today with those that made it famous when it used to be considered “pop” music!

Check out what the film crew is up to as they put together the footage they collected on their adventure: “A Marvelous Era”

They are still looking for investors, so you can still get play a part in telling this interesting story. Click HERE for info.

Here are few photos from the filming!
