BIG CITY REVUE
Big City Revue's 12 piece, non-stop,
soul injected, musical party extravaganza has been drawing raves from San Francisco
Bay Area audiences at an alarming rate.
Big City Revue's musical organization
consists of versatile, seasoned musicians who understand the commitment of getting
the music and sound right!!! … but it doesn’t end with the music!
When you’re talking Big City Revue,
you have to factor in four of the most incredible performers in the industry.
Lead vocalists Pam, Jayne, Phil and Jerry are the secret ingredient that drives
the band’s performance and truly sets them apart from the hoard of bands
that have followed in their footsteps.
Their secret formula is really no secret. Big
City starts with a strong, well-rehearsed 5- piece rhythm section,
consisting of bass guitar, lead guitar, an arsenal of state of the art keyboards
and drums. Then they add an outstanding percussionist to boost the rhythms even
more. Add to this a brassy, punchy horn combination of trumpet, trombone, and
sax all playing explosive horn arrangements highlighted by exciting solo spotlights.
Top this musical review with 4 choreographed lead vocalists complete with stage
wardrobe and 4 part harmonies and you have a visual and musical mixture that
places Big City Revue above all
the rest.
Big City Revue's song repertoire
is as versatile as it gets. It rises to the occasion of today's very demanding
audiences. Whether it is Big Band or Retro Swing from the 1940's and 50's, the
best of the 60's Rhythm and Blues and Motown, Fun 70's Disco Hits, The Pop 80’s,
the latest contemporary dance songs from the 90's, a mix of “hot”
Latin salsa … right up to today’s current hits, Big
City Revue does it all. These styles are all highlighted throughout
the evening … all played by Big City Revue
with all the fun and excitement that San Francisco’s #1 Party Band has
to offer.
