American Big Band’s members were friends in high school. The bassist used to listen to his sister's music constantly as a kid. The guitarist use to listen to tapes constantly as a child. American Big Band began singing at Semester, a college dive bar. The group used to sell their CDs out of their van at the local record store.

American Big Band's newest project has taken the band in a different direction, with a bigger sound. The group recently finished their new project, and they are already thinking of their next move. Members of American Big Band see this tour as a chance to expose a new group of fans to their music.

American Big Band was offered a record contract after their single was heard on B93.1. The band played for little to no money at first and was just happy to be given a chance to be heard. American Big Band’s single rose quickly in the charts giving then the national recognition they always wanted.

American Big Band accepted that they had a real chance to become a headlining national act as soon as Sandra O'Malley started the first fan club for the band in 1984. The club started out in Cincinnati with a handful of members, but grew tremendously once their singles started getting national air time.

The group is sure to schedule a concert at Chief in Raleigh every time they tour because they used to play there all the time before they made it big. American Big Band's concerts always have the audience singing by the end of the show. American Big Band’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on TheSeats.com, along with the schedule of all the band’s concerts.
