The Cedar Ave Big Band has been renowned in the TC area for over 35 years. Originally under the musical direction of the Late Great Steve Devich, this 16-piece Kick Butt Big Band now has Mike Haynes at the helm. This Killer Ensemble of musicians and Vocalist Colleen Raye are a great combination. The many soloists in the band are outrageous!
