31 Jul 2017 Navy Band Cruisers to perform Aug. 19

America’s Navy is coming to Little Rock, one of 14 cities in four states to host a performance by the U.S. Navy Band during its 2017 tour – one of the signature outreach programs of the U.S. Navy.

The United States Navy Band Cruisers performance is scheduled 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, at First Security Amphitheater.

As the U.S. Navy’s premier popular music group, the Cruisers feature eight of the Navy’s most dynamic performers. Their versatility provides them the capability to play multiple genres of music, ranging from rhythm and blues, pop, classic rock, adult contemporary and jazz standards, as well as original material. This elite group has engaged and excited audiences of all ages throughout the U.S. and abroad with world-class musicianship and high-energy, fun-filled performances.

One of the U.S. Navy Band’s primary responsibilities involves touring the country. All of the band’s primary performing units embark each year on concert tours throughout specified regions of the country, allowing the band to reach out to audiences in areas of the country that do not have opportunities to see the Navy’s premier musical ensembles on a regular basis.

The concerts are family-friendly events, meant to be entertaining to veterans, families, individuals and those interested in joining the Navy.

All Navy Band performances are free and open to the public.
