It has been an incredible opportunity the last almost 20 years to sing with The Big Swing Band. When I started in 2002 we were pretty much just a rehearsal band. We played a Sunday show at Duncan Hall every once in a while to keep the rehearsal space. Getting 20 bucks for a show was a big deal back then. I've never been in it for the money. Not many people can say they get to sing or play in a full big band. -Dustin
