MAKING THE SEASON SWING THIS FRIDAY

Angela O’Neill and The Outrageous 8 will make VFW Ship 8310 swing and sing this Friday, December 14, at 8 p.m.  As revealed by their Wednesday night rehearsal, they’ll be greeting the season with classic holiday tunes and perennial American songbook favorites, all set to the rhythms of rejoicing.  Arranger Harry Smallenburg has made even the most familiar Christmas chestnuts as crunchy as fresh fallen snow.

Along with the solo turns, band leader and mezzo chanteuse O’Neill will keep our feet tapping as will noted singer Al Timss , who’ll be sharing the mike with her. 

People familiar with the LA music scene already know that The Outrageous 8 is outrageously talented, given the A-level roster:

Richard Walker – baritone sax, flute

Ron Cyger – alto sax, clarinet

Sam Morgan – tenor sax

Harry Smallenburg – trombone, vibes

“Hollywood” Paul Litteral – trumpet

Gary Leng – bass

Hank Mehren – keyboard

Michael Rosen - drums

Friday night’s audience can look forward to being outrageously entertained.

Major kudos go to O’Neill for promoting and putting together a fantastic band, as well as producing the shows celebrating the tunes that have stood the test of time.

$20 at the door.  VFW Ship 8310 is at 1006 W. Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank, a few blocks west of Victory Blvd.  For more information, visit www.angelamaeoneill.com or call 818.606.2420.

Our thanks to Greg Simay from Burbank.com for coming to our preview night and for his wonderful review of our Holiday Show for Dec 14th, 2018 at the Burbank VFW.

A special thanks to Al Timss, not just for his smooth vocals and personality, but for all his work at every show, to ensure we have great audio and lighting setup.

December 14th Holiday Show at the VFW Burbank

Hello Outrageous8’ers!

We’ve been hard at work rehearsing for our upcoming holiday show on December 14th at our home base, the VFW Burbank and we are very excited to play our very slick arrangements of some of your favorite Christmas and holiday songs.

As a special thank you and our Christmas present to our supporters, we are offering a FREE download to all those that attend.

Our digital album ‘Angela O’Neill and The Outrageous8, Live at the VFW 8310 The Gudgeon’ is now completed and everyone that attends our Holiday Show will receive a link to their FREE download of our very special album, which is also available on our website and soundcloud to stream.

We are very grateful to the VFW and their staff for supporting us and we are just as grateful to all our supporters that come to our show. It really is rewarding to see a show come together after all the hard work the bank does and the people behind the scene that make it all possible.

From time to time we will publish a blog post to let you know about any exciting developments or shows coming up or anything else that may be close to our hearts that we want to share.

We’re on facebook, instagram, twitter AND soundcloud.

Follow us and become part of the Outrageous8 family.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Angela and The Outrageous8
