MEET THE BAND!
The Akron Big Band
While The Akron Big Band has been playing for over 50 years, the band is more vibrant than ever before. When many think of “big band” music they don’t realize that our genre is bringing alive popular music throughout history. That’s true across the last century as we play music from about every decade.
