What we do...

What do Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick, Jr., Michael Buble, the Brian Setzer orchestra, and Count Basie all have in common? You can hear any or all of these when you make the Monroe Big Band a part of your special event.

Monroe Big Band, also known as River Raisin Jazz, has the variety in their repertoire for every occasion. Male & Female vocalists travel with the band.

  • Want a danceable musical treat for your wedding reception?

  • How about a summer festival concert to draw a crowd?

  • Or music to make that special anniversary memorable?

  • Need a band for an elegant fund-raising event?

MBB is a 16-piece jazz orchestra, plus vocalists, based in Monroe, MI, that performs in the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Toledo area. In addition to the sounds and style of big band music, MBB also sprinkles in some Latin, bossa, pop, and a little rock.
