On Nov. 25, Door Community Auditorium (DCA) will get into the holiday spirit with a triple-bill of festive performers, as Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns swing into the holidays with special guests Janet Planet and Steve March-Tormé.

Big Mouth, one of Door County’s most popular bands, is known throughout Wisconsin for playing an eclectic and dance-worthy mix of blues, jazz and rock music. Almost 40 years after the band was founded in Michigan by guitarist Jay Whitney, Big Mouth is still going strong, now featuring a horn section, The Power Tool Horns. At DCA, Big Mouth will present an evening of holiday music and other swinging tunes.

Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns will be joined at DCA by two special guests. Janet Planet is an internationally touring jazz vocalist whom Jazziz Magazine calls “the voice of the New Jazz Culture … amazingly powerful, with seemingly limitless expression.” As a singer and a performer, Janet Planet is spirited and vivacious.

Filling out the triple-bill is Steve March-Tormé, whose singing the L.A. Times calls “seductive and effortless.” March-Tormé’s extraordinary voice has electrified audiences in venues worldwide. Born in New York City to acclaimed crooner Mel Tormé, Steve March-Tormé has spent a lifetime in music.

The show begins at 7 pm. Tickets range from $20 to $28 (or $10 for students 18 and under). Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located at 3926 Hwy 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open 12 – 5 pm Monday through Friday.
