We are excited to announce the entertainment for this year’s Gala Dinner Dance will be the legendary rock/jazz band Blood, Sweat & Tears!!! Blood, Sweat & Tears formed five decades ago when drummer/producer Bobby Colomby and friends assembled the first group to successfully blend rock and jazz into a genre-crossing sound and style. So successfully in fact, that the band’s second album, Blood, Sweat & Tears, topped the Billboard charts for many weeks and beat out the Beatles’ Abbey Road for the prestigious Album of the Year Grammy award. That album produced three major hit singles: “You Made Me So Very Happy,” “Spinning Wheel,” and “And When I Die.” Blood Sweat & Tears was the first All Star Band and has delivered since 1969 to today. The current line-up is sure to prove the critics right that Blood Sweat & Tears is one of the Greatest Touring bands out there today.
