Lighthouse Big Band featuring holiday music with special pre-New Years Eve music December 28 at 7 pm!
THELMA’s Fountain City room. Free admission to the public.
The Lighthouse Big Band concludes the month of holiday celebrations with a “Between the Holidays Get-Away.” There will be many friends of the band home for the holidays and it’s very likely there will be a variety of guest musicians joining the band this night. The band will play a mix of seasonal music and dance music as we are all looking towards New Year’s Eve.
“The Lighthouse Big Band is one of Fond du Lac’s best-kept secrets,” Brad Curran of Curran Music Studios and leader of the Lighthouse Big Band says.
A WAMI nominee for Best Big Band, the band plays a variety of genres in the big band style. The LBB has long been the house band for the Fond du Lac Jazz Festival, and has appeared in concert and dance venues throughout the state over the past 18+ years backing such jazz stalwarts as Tom “Bones” Malone, David “Fathead” Newman, Kevin Mahogany, Eugene Rousseau, Tony Scodwell, Scott Whitfield and Ginger Bergman, Janet Planet, and the acclaimed jazz trumpeter Valery Ponomarev. The Lighthouse Big Band performs music including traditional big bands/dance bands of the 30’s and 40’s, the music of Count Basie and Duke Ellington, Latin Jazz, and the more modern big bands like Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band, as well as big band versions of rock/fusion music.
