Hey, Guys and Dolls! How would you like to re-create history with the sounds of the 1920s, 30s and 40s?
Join Tom Daugherty and his 17-piece big band orchestra
along with vocalists in celebrating the music of a bygone era.
Back in the days of the speakeasies, bootleg liquor and gangsters, the fun was “secret” yet ever-flowin’.
You can bet your bottom dollar you’ll be swingin’ to thesongs made famous by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marilyn Monroe and many others.
In their heyday, they would do favorites
such as “Come Fly With Me”, “New York, New York”,
“Goody, Goody”, “I Wanna Be Loved By You”,
“Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”,
“Ain’t That A Kick In The Head”, “The Lady Is A
Tramp”, “Luck Be A Lady”, “Mack The Knife”,
“You Turned The Tables On Me”, “When You’re Smiling”,
“5’2’ Eyes Of Blue”, “Hello My Honey”, “Baby
Face”, “Happy Days Are Here Again”
and “The Charleston” - not to mention the ever-popular
“Sing, Sing, Sing”.
So, get your passwords and secret knocks ready and we’ll “blow the roof off the joint” with lots of “whoopin’ and howlin”!
