Your source for any style of music,

RoundAbout represents a partnership between some of the finest musical talents in Northern New England. It is their goal to reproduce the sounds, rhythms, and vocal performances of the most popular dance music of the past five decades. Early on, RoundAbout's members made serious commitments to perfecting the art and craft of their music. They are in it for the duration. They e-n-j-o-y what they do, however, they are never satisfied with staying in one place musically, and are continually refreshing and refing their sound. Their respect for each other's professional competence is reflected in their relaxed comfort with each other, offstage or on, and enhances their easy rapport with their listeners.

RoundAbout has been favored by audiences wherever they go, whether they perform for a small group, night club, wedding, concert, or convention. The band always gets the same response: They end with an encore, and the audience still wants more. Their presence promises a fun, upbeat, good time. Audiences all over New England find their music exciting, tasteful, and great for dancing!

BRIAN NADEAU ~ Trumpet
It all began as a three year old dragging an antique cornet around the house and honking away. Brian Nadeau began playing trumpet in jazz combos and big bands as a performer and soloist at age seven. His first gig was with famed trombonist Don Doane at the Bridgeway Restaurant in South Portland. At age 12 Brian was asked to be a special guest on the Milton Berle Show at Lakewood Theater. Mr. Berle, impressed with the young Nadeau?s talent, said ?you?re a coming star?! Early on,arrangements were created for Brian to perform with the Al Corey Big Band as an elementary school musician. Mr. Nadeau has played with the Corey Band for most of his life, and for the past 18 years as lead trumpeter. Mr. Corey selected Brian to be his successor to lead the big band which has a 60 year history. When Mr. Corey passed away in 2003 Brian became the band?s sole leader/contractor.

His clinics focus on breathing and embouchure techniques that contribute to efficient and enhanced mastery of the instrument.
