Bill
Shepherd Big Band
The
Premier Big Band in Northeast Iowa Since 1976
This
group of talented musicians keeps the Big Band sound
alive. They play the old tunes first made popular
by such dance hall favorites as Glenn Miller, Tommy
Dorsey, Benny Goodman and numerous other Big Bands
of the 1930s and 1940s, and continue playing a wide
variety of the pop music from the decades since. The
Bill Shepherd Big Band plays for such events as wedding
receptions, concerts, arts festivals, anniversaries,
reunions, birthday parties, community celebrations,
and corporate parties – any event that calls
for a classy touch in entertainment.
The
extensive tune list of the Bill Shepherd Big Band
includes music dating back to the 1930s and ‘40s,
when Big Bands were at the height of popularity,
to favorite rock-and-roll tunes, to today’s
Latin and jazz tunes. Special tune requests (bride’s
dance, college fight song, father’s favorite
tune, etc.) can be made prior to an event.

Bill
Shepherd Combo
Great
Sound from a Smaller Group
The
Bill Shepherd Combo is a smaller version of the Bill
Shepherd Big Band. This five-piece group – trombone,
clarinet/saxophone, drums, piano, bass -- plays an
eclectic mix of light rock-and-roll, pop tunes, and
many of the recognizable swing tunes of the Big Band
era.
This
group is a popular size for events where a full
but smaller sound is desired. The Combo provides
music for dancing, listening, or background.

Bill
Shepherd's Red Hots
A
Lot of Dixieland Jazz and More!
The
Red Hots play a mix of Chicago- and New Orleans-style
jazz. The six-piece group grew out of requests for
Bill Shepherd Music to provide Dixieland music in
a party atmosphere.
The
Red Hots have been featured performers at the Cedar
Basin Dixieland Festival, community celebrations
around Iowa, private parties, corporate picnics,
and numerous outdoor festivals. In recent years,
the group has provided the Dixieland music for church
services of almost every denomination. Bill works
directly with the church’s minister and music
director to coordinate choir/band selections and
tunes which fit the theme of the service.
