Welcome to Greater Seattle's Hottest Big Band


​Route 66​

​
The Big Band Era

Route 66 plays Swing Music, which was  the popular music of the 1930s-1950s.  From Benny Goodman to Duke Ellington, Harry James to Glenn Miller, the Route 66 Big Band performs the music of the "Greatest Generation"  that's fun to both listen and dance to.  It's Happy and Entertaining Music!

Our 17 piece Big Band showcases our full sections of' saxophones, trombones, & trumpets, with  a rhythm section composed of piano, drums, and bass as well as a vocalist.

The Music

This is the music we love to play and you love to listen to, mostly swing standards from the 30s, 40s, and 50s (and some surprises too!).
​
ROUTE 66 has an extensive library. The songs listed on  The Music Page are examples of the tunes we play. However, they may or may not be currently in our working 'book' so if you want to hear particular tunes, just let us know!

Parties - Events  Corporate & Private

Dinner Dances, Fundraisers, Birthday Parties, Corporate Parties and Special Events are all made more special and memorable by hiring the Right Band for the gig.  Contact our Booking Agent to discuss your Events as we can custom-tailor our music to your needs. 
​

Weddings

With the classic White Tux formal attire and a well rehearsed band, Route 66 is ready to make your day memorable. From Swing to Tango to Waltz, the depth of our music library is one few bands can match.
​

Need a smaller band?

The Route 66 Music Organization is proud to  offer smaller groups as needed. Sometimes a Big Band is just too big for an event. From 2 piece to 7 piece, we have the players and music to make it happen to fit most any budget and location.
