Shout Section Big Band is Chicagoland’s own professional jazz big band. Comprised of some of the most exciting veteran and up-and-coming musicians, Shout Section Big Band has become one of the Midwest’s best big bands. Since its inception a decade ago, S.S.B.B. has performed at numerous dances, weddings, civic concerts, educational clinics, television programs (including the nationally syndicated "The Vampire Diaries"). and radio shows.

The band which is popular with jazz fans & swing dancers alike, performs classic big band jazz from the 1930’s and 40’s, but also adapts modern hits to the big band style. Just when you think you know where the band is going, they’ll throw you a very entertaining curveball. Shout Section commissions new arrangements at a furious pace even being hired by Amazon.com to perform 1940's swing for the opening of the Amazon Prime series "A League of Their Own." New compositions by band members John Dorhauer, Joshua Jern, and Texas composer, Brian Stark keep the genre sounding as fresh today as it did generations ago.
