Founded in 1982, The Elkin Big Band is an authentic 20-piece big band - thirteen horns, a full rhythm section and vocalists. A rarity in today's world, we make the kind of music heard on stage at The Apollo, The Lumina, The Cotton Club, and Carnegie Hall. We take up a lot of space acoustically. Our broad repertoire includes many of the greatest charts in the history of jazz from the 1920s through the present day. We play Irving Berlin to Herbie Hancock, Leonard Bernstein to Miles Davis, Duke Ellington to Stevie Wonder, George Gershwin to Quincy Jones; our catalog represents a deep dive into the genre and everything we play is danceable. Our band adds what many people have called a “glamour factor” to any occasion. Simply said, it is not something that one sees or hears every day. If you are searching for a spectacular musical experience for your event, we would be more than pleased to provide you with an evening that you and your guests will never forget.

Join Luke Mears and other fabulous local musicians for a FREE Country/Blues Jam in the Reeves Theater lobby (or under the marquee in nice weather) every second Thursday of the month.
