Former MU Mike Vax on Tour

Mike Vax has played with the U.S. Navy Show Band, the Stan Kenton Band and has led the Dukes of Dixieland and numerous groups under his own name.

He also leads the Stan Kenton Alumni Band, an ensemble of former members of that prestigious band who gather annually for a bus tour. This year's tour is now in progress with dates that include performances in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New York, Delaware,Virginia, New Jersey and Washington, DC.

It's a jam-packed schedule, a different city every night, long drives between cities, musicians, sleep when and where you can get it.

Sound familiar?
