    Summer Concerts: Mike Surratt & ECB

    Summer Concerts logo
    Description

    [In the Park & Live Streamed]  Enjoy an evening of live swing music with Mike Surratt and ECB. The average music lover doesn't listen to only one music genre/style. Why should a band only play one type of music? ECB can not answer that question. ECB wants you to enjoy a wide spectrum of fun dance music. This band can take you on a journey to the grand ballrooms that had the music of Glenn Miller, the sock-hops that rocked around the clock, through a doorway into the 60's and 70's, and finally ending up on a sunset beach listening to summertime boardwalk sounds or tropical Caribbean rhythms.
