Experience the high-voltage energy of the Reno Jazz Orchestra in a show-stopping performance with Sinatra-style crooner Matt Mauser. This musical trek through time cruises from brassy swing and swagger to retro, horn-driven grooves that blend big band sophistication with the punch and power of classic rock. Bold horns and soaring vocals collide with a sound that’s equal parts vintage cool and modern hot. Expect swinging rhythms, front-man charm, and a feel-good, toe-tapping celebration of timeless hits.

 

A seasoned entertainer and America’s Got Talent finalist, Matt Mauser has been a powerhouse in the Southern California music scene since 1997. As the frontman of the high-energy, genre-blending band Tijuana Dogs and the leader of The Matt Mauser Big Band, he seamlessly navigates everything from '80s pop and classic rock to the timeless swing of the Sinatra era. His career is marked by prestigious collaborations, including performing with 16-time Grammy winner David Foster and co-writing music with NBA legend Kobe Bryant for projects like The Punies.
