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
