Shout Section Big Band live in Berwyn

Experience Shout Section Big Band live on July 19th

Shout Section Big Band will be performing at Fitzgerald’s Nightclub in Berwyn, Illinois on July 19, 2026. The band is a Chicago-based ensemble specializing in high-energy, contemporary big band jazz. Their repertoire includes original compositions alongside arrangements of popular songs spanning funk, rock, and soul, all filtered through a distinctly large ensemble sound. They are known for incorporating dynamic horn arrangements and a strong rhythmic section.

Fitzgerald’s Nightclub has a long history as a prominent venue for live music in the Chicago metropolitan area. Originally opening as a supper club in 1940, it quickly became known for hosting nationally recognized jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong – lending to its current name. Throughout its history, the venue has undergone several changes in ownership and location within Berwyn, but consistently maintained its focus on live performance. It currently operates as a dedicated music venue with a capacity of approximately 500 standing or 350 seated guests. The space is designed to provide intimate viewing experiences while showcasing diverse musical genres beyond just jazz, though jazz remains central to its identity.
