Band Regrouping

The Hog Heaven Big Band is regrouping, and invites musicians to come give Big Band Swing music a try. We play music from the Big Band Era of Count Basie and Glenn Miller, up to the modern swing revival, featuring the music of groups like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and the Cherry Poppin Daddies. 

To check us out, just come to one of our upcoming rehearsals, April 11th, 7:30 - 9:30 pm and April 18th, 7:30 - 9:30 pm, at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 1036 W. A Street, in Moscow.
