Palmer Lake Library Village Green Concert Series: Peak Big Band

Celebrate summer with a live three concert series of music at the Palmer Lake Village Green!

The first concert of this series features Peak Big Band:

Originally led by Floyd Frame under the name Jazz Express, the band was mostly made up of members from the NORAD band as well as a few community members.   Under the direction of Fred Martinez, the band became known as the Peak Big Band and significantly expanding its repertoire of big band music, playing from Duke Ellington to Glen Miller, from Sinatra to Stevie Wonder, and from Sly and Family Stone to Guns and Roses. 

Under the direction of Dan Bell since 2023, the Peak Big Band has evolved into one of the premier Big Bands in the Pikes Peak region.  Peak Big Band continues to play a variety of big band music with an emphasis on providing jazz improvisational opportunities for its musicians.  When you listen to the Peak Big Band you’ll hear a full and dynamic ensemble, as well as a myriad of soloists stretching out on the changes in the true spirit of jazz.

This is a free concert, and everyone is welcome to attend.  Bring a lawn chair or blanket and enjoy this one-hour performance.  The Village Green and gazebo are located right next to the Palmer Lake Library, 66 Lower Glenway Street.
