Joe's Big Band is an 18-piece ensemble of musicians who have performed for many years throughout northwestern Vermont, at weddings, dances, schools, and community events. We recently completed a six-year stint playing weekly dinner cruises on the Spirit of Ethan Allen III on the Burlington, VT waterfront. Our repertoire spans from swing and jazz standards made famous by artists like Count Basie, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington, to the music of Earth, Wind and Fire, James Brown, Santana, and other contemporary artists.
