The Robson Ranch Women’s Club is excited to host the Robson Ranch Little Swing’n Band at the December luncheon program on Dec. 2! Robson Ranch Little Swing’n Band is comprised of nine musicians derived from the 23-piece Robson Ranch Big Swing’n Band. All but one are Robson Ranch residents. The band includes vocalist Michele Brandt, bandleader Spike Evans on alto and soprano sax, Bill Soule on tenor sax, Lewis Smith on trumpet and flugelhorn, Don Ford on trombone, Ron Alexander on keyboard, Steve McGill on bass guitar, Gary Wiesner on drums, and Chris Corbitt on percussion and sound. We will delight in the combined sounds of Dixieland, swing band, and pop music!
But wait, there’s more! Just for the Robson Ranch Women’s Club, a featured set list will include Christmas music, which we can all sing along with! This will be fun!
