The Fogcutters are an electrifying 19-piece big band composed of many of Portland, Maine¿s brightest young musical talents, who come from a broad variety of musical backgrounds. Created and rooted in the spirit and great admiration of traditional big band jazz, this big band aims to take the medium to a new place few, if any, big bands dare to explore. Comprised of 13 horns, 5-piece rhythm section and the lush vocals of Megan Jo Wilson and Chas Lester and frequent guests, the band boasts a repertoire of well over 100 songs and adding more all the time! You¿ll never see the same show twice.
Under the direction of co-leaders John Maclaine and Brian Graham, The Fogcutters pay special attention to the many traditions and unique styles of big band music, but is just as comfortable playing funk, rock, hip-hop and many other styles in original big band arrangements. Where else can you hear the greatest music spanning 90 years in one explosive show? Whatever the style, the Fogcutters will leave you wanting more.
The Fogcutters are a 19-piece big band with a fresh approach to a traditional style of music that incorporates modern sounds and a melting pot of musical styles. The band plays standard big band repertoire but isn¿t afraid to cross into uncharted territories. The Fogcutters are proud to back the lush and soulful vocal stylings of Stephanie Davis and Chas Lester. Boasting 13 horns, a rockin¿ rhythm section, and two of Portland's great voices, it¿s hard not to love the big band¿s style and energy.
Following the enormous success of last year's event, The Fogcutters and the State Theatre are excited to announce the return of Big Band Syndrome at the State Theatre on Friday, December 7. The recording of the 2011 show was released this past spring and Big Band Syndrome Vol. 1 was the only the beginning of something bigger... this year the Fogcutters aim to step up the game with the Dec. 7 show, presenting all new, original arrangements of 8 local musicians' songs as well as the FC's own original material. So come check out First Friday and cap it off with your favorite local music like you've never heard it before.
