The Sam Every Big Band is one of the most exciting young big bands performing in the UK today. After making their London club debut in 2019, they have gone on to achieve a 100% sell-out record at all of their concerts across the UK. They are regular performers at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, and in 2022, they performed three sell-out shows at the world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London’s Soho. They are a projects-based band, performing a variety of unique sets, entirely composed of original arrangements for the band, with acclaimed UK singers.
So far, they have worked with the award-winning Luca Manning, Sara Colman, Stefan Mahendra, Freddie Benedict, and many more. The band also regularly appears on the festival scene, most notably frequently headlining the Twinwood Music Festival in Bedfordshire. In 2023, the band embarked on a wildly successful debut UK tour, supported by Arts Council England, performing a re-imagination of iconic ‘Guilty Pleasure’ hits to engage a younger demographic in Big Band music. 2023 also saw the band open the world-renowned EFG London Jazz Festival for Pizza Express Jazz Club, featuring UK songstress Emma Smith.
