Carson Valley Inn presents: Big Band Memories

Description

Nostalgic big-band sounds will fill the Valley Ballroom at the Carson Valley Inn on Sunday, April 17 with special Big Band Memories shows at 3 and 6 p.m.  The 7-piece orchestra – plus a female singer – is headed by Charles DiLaura.  Like others in his group, Charles has a storied history of playing with many of the big names in show business including Cameron McRae, Pearl Bailey, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Bennett, Jimmy Durante, Red Skelton and more. 
 
The seven seasoned musicians have over 250 years of experience and all have played extensively with the headline entertainers from the big-band era.  They'll be playing swing music and old standards from the likes of Glenn Miller, Harry James, Tommy Dorsey and other popular orchestras of the past – perfect for listening, dancing (yes, the dance floor will be out) and reminiscing.
