LW’s big band, the Velvetones, to perform July 21

WEEKEND NIGHT DANCES

The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra will perform Sunday, July 21, at 6 p.m. in Clubhouse 4.

The Velvetones perform big band swing and jazz standards under the direction of Jeff Plum.

The group plays at LW Clubhouse 4 on the first and third Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. The big band sound is the Velvetones signature, that uniquely American combination of reeds, brass, and rhythm which defined the nation’s popular music for more than three decades.

They vividly bring this classic music to life for a new generation of audiences, authentically recreating the style, musicality, and essence of Swing Era band music. They pepper their repertoire with contemporary pop hits to broaden their audience.

Whether it be a well-known big band standard, contemporary jazz showcase, sentimental vocal ballad, or a hard swinging brass feature, the Velvetones provides a unique and complete package of musical entertainment.

The Velvetones Ballroom Dance Orchestra is LW's own professional big band.
