Sonoran Serenade Big Band at The Nash

Sonoran Serenade Big Band

The Sonoran Serenade Big Band will once again be playing at The Nash on MONDAY, April 14th. This is our fourth appearance and we’re very excited to be back. SSBB was founded 9 years ago and currently calls North Scottsdale our home. We have some of the Phoenix area’s finest musicians.

This is not your father’s big band. While our roots are firmly planted in the big bands of the 1930’s and 1940’s, our library and repertoire allow us to bring classic songs from the 50’s through the 90’s to the big band sound. We’ll be playing some new tunes arranged by Mike Crotty guaranteed to make you tap your feet. Rock, Latin, Pop, Swing….we play it all! We also have two fantastic vocalists that provide an extra energy not found in other big bands in the Valley....
