Welcome to Shout Section! You've made it to the home of the band that makes big band swing come alive with excitement. The SSBB was formed in 2007. Since then, we've been entertaining audiences at swing dances, weddings, corporate events, city concerts, festivals and schools all over the Midwest. We've been featured on WGN TV, WBEZ radio, and on the nationally syndicated television show, "Vampire Diaries." We were hired by Amazon.com to perform 1940's swing for the opening of the Amazon Prime series "A League of Their Own." Staffed by some of the best musicians in the Chicago area, you're going to love listening to and dancing to Shout Section Big Band!
"Oh my goodness, did we have a great time with Shout Section Big Band : Chicago Swing Band, Big Band, Jazz Band, or what?! Thank you so much for playing for us, even in the humidity 
and thank you to everyone who came out and danced! Shall we have them back again? I think so!" - The Lockport Swing Thing
