About

Thursday Night Music Club (TNMC) is a dynamic Tallahassee-based group of volunteer musicians who play big band-style music weekly in a relaxed atmosphere. The band’s repertoire ranges from jazz standards to swing, rock, pop, blues, and Latin. TNMC is a 501c3 non-profit with a mission and passion for community-based music. We aim to keep the “big band” style of music relevant for the greater Tallahassee community.

The band began in January of 2006 and has been lucky enough to host many talented musicians from around the community. In the summer of 2007, the band welcomed Patrick Dunnigan (FSU Director of Bands), in the capacity of musical director and guitarist – but like the other band members, Patrick is a community musician with a passion for jazz!

We run our group like a non-profit, cycling any funds we earn back into the band to buy sheet music, supplies, shirts, etc. So, while members are rarely paid, it’s essential for the group to raise funds so that we can continue to operate and play new music. That being said, the band does donate many hours of its time to local organizations and causes and we offer discounted rates for other types of events.

TNMC has performed at the following events: Tallahassee Downtown Winter Festival, Springtime Tallahassee, Opperman Music Hall, Southwood Big House Boogie, SouthWoodStock, Homecoming and Parents’ Weekend in the FSU Union, benefits for the Boys and Girls Club, Girls and Boys Town, and Habitat for Humanity, Tallahassee Jazz & Blues Festival, WFSU Outloud, concerts in Kleman Plaza, Tallahassee Downtown Marketplace, the Governor’s Club, and many more.
