Neuse River Big Band Tickets

Nestled in the heart of North Carolina, Neuse River Big Band brings big-band energy to both classic and contemporary audiences. Founded in 2019 by Michael Howard and David McGowan, the ensemble is now led by director David Richards. With a repertoire that spans Count Basie, Glenn Miller, and Duke Ellington, alongside modern jazz, rock, movie soundtracks, and pop arrangements, NRBB delivers engaging performances that appeal to jazz lovers and casual listeners alike.

NRBB typically presents three shows each year at Garner Performing Arts Center (GPAC) and Fuquay Varina Arts Center (FVAC). Their 2025 schedule features four standout events, including spring swings and seasonal shows that highlight their versatile sound and full-band energy.

As a trusted regional act, Neuse River Big Band has earned a reputation for sold-out performances—most notably a 450-seat Christmas show at GPAC in 2023—and for steady audience appeal. Follow along for tickets, tour updates, and behind-the-scenes content from their expanding musical catalog.
