BIG CHIEF is a band that expands from four to six pieces to suit the event. Formerly known as Big Chief and the Continentals the band was originated in 1989 and like good wine has grown better with age. The core members are Sam Hall, Jeff Davison, Dave Thibodeau and Steve Lynnworth. A keyboardist and a vocalist are added as requested and both positions are chosen from a field of star players. Within the four piece band there are four strong voices to create a unique variety of singing styles and harmonies. The backbone of the Big Chief sound emanates from the strong rhythm section making it easy for any of the hand picked guest musicians to easily find firm footing. The band visits many musical areas including swing era classics ala Ellington and Sinatra up to and including classic soul and rock favorites with a New Orleans party number thrown in to get the dance floor boiling. Along the way don't be surprised to hear some Chuck Berry, Stevie Ray Vaughan or even the Beatles. In short something for everybody!
