Red Sand Big Band is a Bendigo based swing and jazz band, built on the big band era of the 1940s. Think Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman etc.
With a sound like no other, big bands were once the top of the hit parade and people like Glenn Miller changed the course of music for a decade.
The Red Sand Big Band couples this traditional setup of saxes, trombones, trumpets and rhythm section to some modern day classics you wouldn't expect would fit this genre of music, but they do.
The Red Sand Big Band comprises a bunch of local Bendigo musicians, the cream of the Bendigo swing and Jazz scene and feature the breath-taking vocal stylings of Steph McCorkelle, an amazing vocalist with decades of experience with all manner of music, including the RAN Band. Steph loves big band music, and we love having her as part of our team.
A night with the Red Sand Big Band is one you will tell your friends about. Don't miss your opportunity to come and enjoy the bygone swing era of the roaring 40s with the modern edge of some tunes you might least expect.
