big chief
Description
Big Chief is a band that expands from four to six pieces to suit the event. Formerly known as Big Chief and the Continentals the band was originated in 1989 and like good wine has grown better with age. The core members are Sam Hall, Jeff Davison, Dave Thibodeau and Steve Lynnworth. A keyboardist and a vocalist are added as requested and both positions are chosen from a field of star players. Within the four piece band there are four strong voices to create a unique variety of singing styles and harmonies. The backbone of the Big Chief sound emanates from the strong rhythm section making it easy for any of the hand picked guest musicians to easily find firm footing. The band visits many musical areas including swing era classics ala Ellington and Sinatra up to and including classic soul and rock favorites with a New Orleans party number thrown in to get the dance floor boiling. Along the way don’t be surprised to hear some Chuck Berry, Stevie Ray Vaughan or even the Beatles. In short something for everybody!

Take two parts big band swing and one part rock-and-roll, add a jigger of Sinatra and a pony of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and what do you get?

the nation's top party band!
Whether you’re planning a wedding, reception, corporate party, trade show, or concert, Big-T will transform your function into a night at the Sands!
Based in Dallas, Texas, this 6-, 12- or 19-piece Big Band blends a unique mixture of Blues, Swing, Big Band and Classic Rock to deliver a guaranteed good time. Big T himself combines the soul of B.B. King with the swagger of Tony Soprano and the vocal chops of Ol’ Blue Eyes. Listed by the top meeting planners, event planners and talent agent, he’s Dean Martin, Bobby Darrin and Buster Poindexter rolled into one, backed by a smokin’ band that’ll knock your socks off. Add a whiff of cigar smoke and a fifth of bourbon, and Bada-FREAKIN-Bing, you’ve got yourself a party!
Craig Thompson, better known as “Big-T,” has a reputation for doing things in a mighty big way. The former sumo wrestler who used to tip the scales at 400 pounds has since reinvented himself as a singer and bandleader, performing to packed houses across the country and overseas.
Born to be Wild, the band’s first CD, showcases Thompson’s amazing vocal range, as he covers genres ranging from swingin’ Vegas jazz to classic rock, blues, ’60s soul and romantic ballads.
