On Wednesday, August 28th, the Night Train Big Band returns to the stage to celebrate its 46th anniversary. This band, which had its humble beginnings in Winchester in the summer of 1978, is structured like a conventional big band, with trumpets, trombones, saxes, piano, bass, and drums. But they are not your 1940’s tribute swing band! Rather, this band draws on music from the\ last 8 decades – featuring everything from Glenn Miller to Lady Gaga, Sinatra to Bily Joel, and the Beatles to the Blues Brothers.
When asked what kind of music they play, Al Lummiss, the musical director, often replies, “We play the music of your life. The songs we all grew up listening to and that still hold a special spot in our lives.”
Join the band for their annual summer concert as they bring their brand of big band fun to the Winchester United Church (519 St. Lawrence Street, Winchester) for one night only on Wednesday, August 28 at 7:00 pm.
This is “pay what you can” event. See you there!
