About

We are a Tampa-based, 17-piece big band with a fabulous female singer and one of the best sax sections anywhere. As well as the swing hits from the big band era, we play the tunes made famous by Ella Fitzgerald, Nat and Natalie Cole, Peggy Lee, Glenn Miller, Anita O’Day, Gene Krupa, and of course, Frank Sinatra. Some of our live performances can be seen on YouTube by searching, "Cigar City Big Band". For weddings and formal affairs we perform in full tuxedo, for more relaxed gatherings we perform in all black attire. Thank you, please give us a listen and contact Darele Campbell, dsingerb@yahoo.com

We were the very first wedding they played and they were amazing! We sampled all the other "BIG BANDS" in Tampa and none sounded as authentic as the Cigar City. They have a true big band jazz sound and did such a great job! Lee, the band leader, was up front with us that we would be their first official performance. With the great demos and such honesty we could not pass them by, and they did not disappoint! No hassle and no drama, they made our wedding something people still talk about. They arrived on time blending in with our black tie theme. Darla the vocalist did a great job with our song "At last" and a wild seductive version of "Fever". If you have questions please feel free to drop me a line I would be more than willing to go out of my way for these guys, they made our day something special, something a DJ could not do for anybody! jsreyher@yahoo.com

One of the best bands I have ever heard live! This 17 piece band is sure to impress at any event, wedding, or social gathering. Mr. Farrell is extremely pleasant and I hope to work with him again lots in the future. I easily give five out of five stars for The Cigar City Big Band's performance!
