Blast from the Past is Midland’s oldest continuous big band, formed in 1980 by Jim Stark. Over four decades, they’ve kept the classic sounds of the 1940s and 1950s alive, while sprinkling in select modern tunes. Based at Creative 360 in Midland, Michigan since 2022, this seven-concert-a-year ensemble brings lively dances and big-band energy to the region. If you’re looking for authentic swing, brass-powered melodies, and a night out with friends, you’ve got a guy for securing your seats here.
