This eclectic group of 20 amazing instrumentalists and vocalists all share the same love to perform nostalgic music from the 30s through the 50s while throwing in some modern popular tunes along the way.

Great group!

I have listened to this group for several years. They never disappoint. Both upbeat and slow music. If you like to listen to good big band music or dance....this is the group for you to hire.

Amazing!!!

Moonlight Swing Orchestra is amazing! Fun and energetic. We have been to several performances and enjoyed our evenings. The musicians are so talented, and their stage presence is fantastic! They captivate the audience, and people were dancing all evening. Would definitely recommend for any party or event.

What to expect

Our music will get everyone out of their seats and dancing both fast and slow. Before the age of recorded entertainment, Big Bands were the only source of music for weddings, celebrations, Holidays and special events. We will transform your audience back to the days when live Big Band music was the mainstay of entertainment so many years ago. From energized vocals, soaring instrumental solo's and a tight ensemble sound, we give our all on every tune.

Additional booking notes

Our setup can be accomplished in a 20 x 20 feet area with access to several electrical outlets. We can bring our own sound system if one is not available in your venue. Special lighting is not required. Depending on the stage, we would need between 5 - 10 armless chairs.
