The 19-piece Compaq Big Band closes out a tumultuous Summer 2025 on a high note (actually, lots of them from the back row…) when we make our debut at the iconic Hampton Beach Sea Shell as part of the famous Hampton Beach Seafood Festival! On Saturday afternoon September 6th we’ll be getting the boardwalk throngs revved up when talented singer Juliana Bautista fronts the band for the first time.Our performance slot is 2:30pm-5:00pm – rain or shine. For all the important admission pricing/on-line ticketing info, parking/shuttle details, and complete festival entertainment lineup, go to www.seafoodfestivalnh.com.
The Hampton Beach Seafood Festival is a 36 year-old tradition presented by the Hampton Area Chamber Of Commerce that draws scores of thousands of people every year. Please plan your trip well in advance, and get there well ahead of our show to take in the multitude sustenance and libation options (that last one, responsibly…). But no worries, they won’t run out of lobster, clams, chowder and everything else from under the sea served up fresh until way after our show’s over…
Juliana will be channelin’ a lotta Ella Fitzgerald, and a whole lot more! We'll also be hittin’ the audience with some of our best instrumental arrangements, too. Think Bill Holman, Sammy Nestico, Maynard Fergusson, Buddy Rich, Chris Walden, plus a surprise or two. And, we're very happy to be working with old friends at Marathon Sound Systems - some of the best in the sound/lighting/event production biz.
Juliana Bautista is a Montréal-born jazz vocalist, composer, and educator known for her warm tone, multilingual versatility, and dynamic stage presence. She has performed at major venues and festivals across Québec and New England, including the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Boston’s Jordan Hall, and the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport, Massachusetts. Currently based between Montréal and Boston, she is completing her undergraduate studies in Jazz Voice Performance at the New England Conservatory, where she has worked closely with acclaimed artists including Dominique Eade, Jason Moran and Sara Serpa.
In addition to performing, Juliana is an active composer and educator. Her original music draws from the Great American Songbook, Latin jazz, and contemporary influences, and she teaches private voice and piano with a focus on creativity, confidence, and technical foundation.
