Experience Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys live on July 18th

Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys are scheduled to perform at the Observatory in Santa Ana, California on July 18, 2026. The band is known for their energetic performances and revival of 1950s rockabilly, western swing, and honky-tonk music. Their sound incorporates elements of traditional country, blues, and early rock and roll, often featuring upright bass, twangy guitars, and distinctive vocal harmonies. Formed in the early 1990s, Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys have been prominent figures in the neo-traditional American roots music scene for over three decades.

The Observatory, located in Santa Ana, is a well-established concert venue with a multi-room capacity. Originally opening as the Galaxy Concert Theatre in 1979, it hosted numerous iconic acts throughout the 1980s and 90s including The Police and Nirvana. Following periods of closure and renovation under different ownerships, it reopened as The Observatory Orange County in 2011.
