Rags Allen Band
John Yu
On September 22, 2019, enjoy Sunday evening with the easy-listening and rhythmic music of an Arizona favorite, the Rags Allen Jazz Band, featuring Rags Allen on piano/keyboard and member of Arizona Nightclub Performers Hall of Fame. Rags has performed with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Charlie Pride and Mickey Gilley at venues throughout the country, including the MGM Grand and the Grand Ol’ Opry. Chuck Bene, guitarist and inductee into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, performed for decades in the New York City area, including 10 years with the Bobby Lane Trio. Chuck also wrote music for Ricky Nelson and the Hullabaloo TV show. Roy Calhoun, a drummer who started professionally at the age of 13, played alongside Wayne Newton, Eddie Arnold, Julie London, Phil Harris, John Davidson and many others. You might know Roy and his wife Barbara as owners of the Allstar Music stores chain in the Valley; and Mark Webb, lead singer and named “Vocalist of the Year” by the Phoenix Country Music Club. Mark has performed throughout the Valley as a pop, country, rock and Latin and blues singer. This band has played throughout Arizona and many times to a packed San Tan Ballroom on Sunday evenings in Sun Lakes.
Enjoy music and dance from 6:00 p.m. through 9:00 p.m. For those who like to include dinner (in the ballroom), come early and order from our special dinner menu beginning from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Admission is $12 per person.
