Village Big Band Hosts Block Party at Balboa Pavilion 

The Village Big Band has been performing locally for more than 20 years.

Having just completed a tremendous performance at the 31st annual Hot Springs Jazz Fest, the Hot Springs Village Big Band (VBB) now has its sights and music set on hosting a fall block party at the Village’s Balboa Pavilion on Friday, October 6, at 5:00 p.m. 

Those who attend will enjoy up to two hours of music you may want to dance to that includes a music repertoire of classic standards, rock, jazz, big band, and much more. 

Balboa Pavilion has picnic tables, so there is plenty of room for coolers and snacks. Be sure to bring your lawn chairs to ensure enough seating for everyone. 

The VBB has a rich history of more than 20 years of entertaining. Currently, it is comprised of musicians from Hot Springs Village, Hot Springs, Russellville, and the Little Rock area. The band presents a repertoire that includes classic Big Band standards, rock, jazz, and pop which not only appeals to multi-generational audiences but connects those generations through their artistry of music. 

And… band vocalist Maureen Morgan always weaves her own special touch into this tapestry. Band personnel sometimes change from performance to performance, but every one of these men and women loves making music together, and it shows through the joy and passion they put into every song. This is especially true of band leader, Jim Kelly. 

The Village Big Band looks forward to seeing you on Friday, October 6, at 5:00 p.m. at the Balboa Pavilion.
