Several special guests are scheduled to appear at the 16th Annual Texas All-Star Big Band Bash Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 12-14, at Hill Top Café.
Doors open at 5 p.m. and music starts at 5:45 p.m.
The cost is $100 per person for the Lonestar dining room and $80 for the Cavern dining room.
A limited number of tickets remain for the Lonestar room, but Johnny Nicholas, owner of Hill Top Cafe, said the Cavern dining room still has a lot of availability.
“In between sets in the Lonestar room there will be musicians playing in the Cavern room,” Nicholas said. “So guests in that room will also be getting their own musical experience.”
Among those scheduled to perform are Gary Nicholson, Golden Triangle Swamp Blues, Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys, Johnny Nicholas and Hell Bent, Al Gomez and The West Side Horns featuring Henry Rivas, David Greeley, Sam Broussard, Bruce Hughes, Scrappy Jud Newcomb and John-Morocco-Chipman.
During the event, three bands will be performing each night. At the end of the final set each night, a special surprise guest will perform with a band backing them.
Hill Top Café will also be serving food during the performances.
