POWER-ful Brass ~  not brass exactly. Think of brass as fearless, adventurous, brave, or courageous.   That is what I think of a concert in a warehouse – adventurous, brave, courageous, fearless!
How does one pull off very special experience in a warehouse?  Book a great band, partner with a long-time Muncie business, decorate with lots of fabric, balloons, and color.  Offer luscious snacks, classic music of the crooners of the 20th century and today, and of course dancing!  It’s a perfect end to Valentine’s week.
Start with the quintessential Sinatra song list, add the lyrical styling of Tony Bennett, sprinkle in the hot, contemporary horn charts of Harry Connick Jr., and then add the modern flavor of Michael Buble. The Harry Arnett Band will entice you and your friends to dance the night away!
