Event Details:

The Surf Ballroom invites you to dance the summer nights away during its beloved Big Band Series, taking place on select Sundays throughout the season. With doors opening at 5:30 PM and live music and dancing from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, it’s an evening of timeless tunes, joyful movement, and community spirit.

Held inside the iconic Surf Ballroom—complete with its expansive, historic dance floor—this series celebrates the golden age of swing and big band music. Whether you’re a seasoned ballroom dancer or stepping out for the first time, you’ll find the perfect setting to glide, twirl, and swing the night away.

The Lonny Lynn Orchestra is a ballroom dance band - playing music from the 30's to the present with some Country and Latin. The band consists of ten musicians and a female vocalist. The orchestra has been performing since 1983.

The orchestra plays venues such as club dances, anniversary and wedding receptions, city functions and concerts in the park. Each winter, the Orchestra performs at resorts in Arizona. They've also played aboard eight cruise ships in the Eastern and Western Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Alaska, Hawaii, the Mexican Riviera, Canada and New England. Many of their dancing friends have joined them on these wonderful cruises.

Lonny, in partnership with the Starlite Ballroom in Wahoo, Nebraska, hosts Big Band Fests twice a year. These dances feature the Lonny Lynn Orchestra in addition to a guest band - providing five hours of continuous dancing music! Some of the many orchestras that have shared the stage are Russ Morgan, Jan Garber, Dick Jurgens, and Guy Lombardo.

The orchestra has been the back-up band for stars of the Lawrence Welk show - Clay and Sally Hart, Mary Lou Metzger, Ralna English and Guy Hovis. They have also performed the pre-show for the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Guy Lombardo Orchestra. The Lonny Lynn Orchestra has produced five recordings.
