The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra

The Ron Smolen Big Band / Orchestra
***Every Night Is New Years Eve***

The Ron Smolen Orchestra has been serving the Chicagoland area for over 35 years. For the last 25 years, our 10 piece orchestra has branched out and has performed in 18 states for events ranging from elegant Dinner Dances, Lavish Weddings, and Big Band Festivals, to State Fairs, Carnivals, and Gambling Casinos.

The Ron Smolen Orchestra is one of the last traveling Big Bands under the direction of a "Live" Personable leader. Some of the places they have performed at include: Theatres, Historic Ballrooms, Resorts and much more.

The Orchestra’s library is designed to play for Ballroom Dancing one night, and for a Jazz Club Concert the next night. We can transform any event into New Years’ Eve at the Waldorf in the memorable sweet sound of Guy Lombardo, and also provide plenty of Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller for those who prefer to " Swing " a little. And, since we perform for all ages, we carry an ample amount of "POP" tunes ranging from the 50’s and "Rock Around The Clock" to the 90’s and "Achy Breaky Heart".
