Meet The Band
The musicians in Blue Skies Big Band have been playing in the area for years, many with more than 25 years of personal experience. Players have studied and performed music at the Universities of Connecticut and Massachusetts, Eastern Connecticut State University, and Westfield State University among others. These musicians have performed at the Eastern States Exposition, with regional community bands, in major parades and with pit orchestras for area theater groups. They have also played at countless other local venues. Several brass players were invited to backup The Temptations at The Calvin Theater. All-in-all, they are a fine collective of accomplished, passionate, and dedicated musicians most of our fans like to think of as "family."
