Hank Biggs Band Live

Peregrine School is thrilled to bring The Hank Biggs Band to the Peregrine School South campus on Saturday, September 9. Part of Pergrine’s 2023 Second Saturday Family Concert Series the concert and educational component are presented with support, in part, by a grant from the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs program.

The Hank Biggs Band is a 5-piece Swing and Jump Blues band, playing a mixture of original material and dance tune covers. They routinely perform in venues from Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas (including multiple appearances at Viva Las Vegas, the largest Rockabilly festival in the world!). Regionally, the band has played The Torch Club, Sactown Swing; and the Placer, El Dorado, and Nevada County Fairs.

The morning will begin with musical samples played by Biggs and other band members sharing how their individual histories lead them to Swing (the instrumentation of the group is 2 guitars, upright bass, drums, piano, and sax). The concert will begin after the presentation. When it comes to the concert, Biggs comments, “These days it’s all about dancing and having a good time to pure, unadulterated Swing!”  Audience members are highly encouraged to dance and enjoy themselves!

There is a suggested donation of $20, but no one will be turned away due to a lack of funds. The educational portion will be from 10 – 11am and the concert will be from 11 – 12pm. The public is invited to either, or both, the educational presentation and concert. The gates of Peregrine’s South campus (2650 Lillard Drive, Davis) will open at approximately 9:45am. Outdoor seating is limited and will be on a first come, first served basis. For information, contact Peregrine School at (530) 753-5500 and www.peregrineschool.org.
