You wake up, and see these eyes greeting you on this fine Sunday morning.
You don't know how he got into your house but... you're not complaining.
You don't know why his trombone sounds like that, but you kind of like it.
You realize, oh hey, those two crazy people Caleb and Allison just made a post again from their weird band Big Beat Big Band.
(We're alive everyone... see you soon!)
Hiiiiii

Do you ever have negative thoughts?
That voice in your head that says “your music is garbage”?? Or is it just me…
This sounds a little corny but it’s true. When I recorded this solo at a rehearsal, I viewed it as a throwaway. Mentally, I convinced myself that I was playing poorly and that it would never be posted. I felt bad about the solo for a while after… until I recently relistened to it and I was blown away!
I have been reading #theartistsway by #juliacameron and I have been amazed at how it’s effecting my path towards creativity and self-awareness.
Anyway I’m self aware NOW that I actually sounded pretty damn good so enjoy this sexy trombone solo and have a great day! Have you ever had that negative voice in your head that just tells you… “you suck”?

We wrote a song about a friend we lost 😞
Two years ago, our friend Mike Spengler passed away. He was a big part of our band and we miss hearing his solos and his words of wisdom!
That’s why we decided to write a song about him called, “Soar.”
We wanted to share Mike’s positive and upbeat outlook on life in song.
We’re so excited to be premiering this new song this Friday at our show @culturelablic this Friday at 7 PM!
This is a free show, so no need to register online or reserve a ticket. Just bring your favorite chair and come hang with us!

Here’s a sneak peek 👻
#newmusic #bigbeat #bigbeatbigband
Can't believe I'm about to say this but...
Our new song, "Ghosted" is officially out everywhere you listen to music!
Hi everyone, it's Allison here ❤️
I'm so excited to share that our new song, "Ghosted" is out now! We started writing this song on a vacation some years back.
We couldn't finish the song and it got shelved. Time passed and so much happened in that time...
Caleb and I had children, the band explored online collaborations because of the pandemic, and so much more...
And yet this song was STILL in the back of my mind. And I'm so glad it was because I now I get to share it with you!

Hi everyone! It's Allison here. Big Beat is releasing a new song called, "Ghosted" on April 14th.
We started writing in 7 years ago!
A lot can happen in 7 years. We had two kids (😮). Recorded an EP with the band. Made music videos!
The pandemic. And through it all this song was brewing our minds.
Now it's almost time for us to share it with the world!
