Big Plans

We are Big Plans

 

Big Plans...pretty much says it all, doesn't it? You're looking to make some big plans for a fun and casual evening with your friends...you're looking for music you can appreciate, understand and dance to...music without irony, and hip without the tragedy.  You're looking for a mix of blues, rock, rhythm & blues, and even a little "swamp feel" and country thrown in for good measure -- music that's fun to listen and dance to.  You've found your band -- that's Big Plans.

With a unique combination of sound and musicianship, Big Plans has a lot of fun delivering timeless tunes, some you've heard, and some you haven't -- which will soon come to be your favorites.  You can't catch this band every weekend -- appearances and venues are special events, and worth the wait.  We've got Big Plans for you.  Check us out.

Vocals, Guitar / David Siegel

Bass, Vocals / Jeremy Sarant

Harmonica, Vocals / Joe Dills

Keyboards / Mike Zilis

Drums, Percussion / Dan Bader

In Memoriam: Big Plans misses our brother in music, one of our founding members, bassist John Fregonese. Thanks for the memories, Frego!
