In the past sixteen years, The Dave Stephens Band has played over 3,000 shows, performing for dancers and music lovers throughout the U.S. The ensemble has received rave reviews from jazz aficionados, heads of state, and two U.S. presidents.

Specializing in high-energy, vintage jazz, and all forms of ballroom dance, this modern incarnation of the big band has collected numerous awards and honors since its creation in the legendary jazz clubs of Kansas City. Comprised of world class musicians, the band’s repertoire fuses unique interpretations of early 20th century American classics with Stephens’s dynamic original compositions.

The Dave Stephens Band has opened for the likes of the Count Basie Orchestra and has been a favorite of the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, including a headlining performance alongside Duran Duran and Foreigner on New Year’s Eve 2001.
