We want to thank you for your patience over the last month since our announcement to cancel the fall portion of the Celebrity Concert Series. Each week we have been evaluating the possibility of future performances scheduled from January to March. As we receive updated directives from state officials and the Southwest Public Health Department along with information of increasing Covid-19 cases in our area, we feel it is best to postpone the remaining Celebrity Concert Series season for the health and well-being of our community.

And so begins another evening with Pete Jacobs and his 16-piece big-band. Interspersing the hits of the Thirties and Forties, along with late-breaking news-stories from the war-years, as well as several original songs, and even some 1940-style radio commercials, listening to this band is like taking a time-machine back to a World War Two U.S.O. show. And with their three young female vocalists, a hot, driving rhythm section, and eight-piece horn section, the “classic-swing” sound is both full and authentic!. And when you add in their “armed-forces style” khaki-colored uniforms, it’s all there!

Formed in November of 1997, they quickly established themselves with appearances at such swingin’ landmarks as The Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Catalina’s Casino Ballroom, and have been a regular monthly featured band for many years at Disneyland.
