Band: Martin Loomer’s

Orange Devils

Step into a bygone era and enjoy an enchanting night of music by Martin Loomer’s 14-piece swing band orchestra, The Orange Devils! Featuring music by Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Jimmie Lunceford, Benny Carter, Count Basie, and many more!

This Band does not play big dance spaces very often (very rare), so this one of the best opportunities to see them in this environment.
