The Soft Touch Dance Band is an eighteen-piece 'big band' based in Waltham, MA, directed by Kurt Thaller and featuring vocalists Caroline Griep and Gordon Russell. Established in 1980, the band consists of retired professional musicians who perform without compensation, using engagement fees to provide college scholarships for musically-talented students, having disbursed over $130,000 in financial aid to date.
Specializing in swing music from the 1940-1960 era, the Soft Touch Dance Band also covers a wide range of modern favorites, from Broadway to Rock, and is even willing to play alma mater songs if provided with advance piano music.
