Big band favorites, swing-era classics and traditional jazz are on the docket for the Southern Door Community Auditorium, which is hosting a free concert by the Swingin’ Door Big Band.
The show is set for Thursday, June 25, at 7 pm, at the auditorium, 2073 Cty DK in Brussels.

Founded in 2019 by music director Jason Palmer and his wife, Jamie, the Swingin’ Door Big Band is a sister ensemble of the Peninsula Symphonic Band. Since its inception, the band has distributed over $8,000 in scholarships to student and adult musicians across Door County.
The Swingin’ Door Big Band features nearly 20 musicians, ranging from high school students to seasoned professionals. Vocalists Jamie Palmer, Claire Morkin and Donna Ruzicka perform together as Company B, an Andrews Sisters-inspired trio that joins the band for select performances.
