Big Beat Big Band will be live at Centenary Stage Company bringing music that sounds good and feels good. The performance will take place Sunday, February 1 at 2pm, rescheduled due to weather.
Since its formation in 2014, the band has been infusing the classic big band format with modern influences from funk, jazz, and R&B, the ensemble delivers a fresh, vibrant sound that honors tradition while pushing creative boundaries.
Anchoring the group is the husband-and-wife duo of Allison and Caleb Rumley. Allison’s powerful, versatile vocals and compelling songwriting pair seamlessly with Caleb’s expert command of the instrumental ensemble and mastery of the big band form.
Drawing inspiration from legendary ensembles such as the Thad Jones–Mel Lewis Orchestra, alongside contemporary icons like Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Thundercat, and Jill Scott, Big Beat Big Band offers audiences a dynamic and soulful concert experience.
