Don Neely’s Royal Jazz Society Orchestra
Don Neely and the Royal Society Jazz Orchestra affectionately and authentically recapture the excitement, charm, and romance of the celebrated music originating from the 1920s and 1930s – often known as the Jazz Age and early Swing Era. If you haven’t seen the RSJO, take this opportunity to experience these fine musicians and their take on American Jazz & Swing tunes. Dancing is encouraged.

TIGHT PAJAMAS TAKES MUSICAL COMEDY TO NEW HEIGHTS: Be prepared for some wildly funny music and BIg laughs. Tight Pajamas is a duo featuring Susie Davis and Carri Abrahms. In keeping with the Radio Day theme… Susie Davis is the very talented daughter of Class of 2014 BARHOF Pioneer, our pal, Norman Davis!
