About The Band

Miss DIRECTION  is an exciting band that performs music from a variety of styles. Whether it is the vocalist belting out a soulful ballad, the hot horn section wailing on a swinging jazz tune, or the tight rhythm section laying down a solid groove on a funk classic, this band delivers a performance that leave audiences cheering for more! The diverse song list of this band includes traditional favorites such as Just a Closer Walk with Thee and All of Me, jazz standards such as Tenor Madness and Don’t Get Around Much Anymore, all the way up to the sounds of today with arrangements of the Meghan Trainor hit All About that Bass and Radiohead’s Creep. There is a little something for everyone!
 

We're baaaaack! 

After a little time off for summer break, we are hitting the ground running with several new events. First, we will make our first appearance on the Stonebridge Outdoor Concert Series in Wilmore, KY. We will then follow that up with a return to our favorite local venue, The Wrigley Taproom in Corbin, KY. This will be followed by a private event, and then return engagements with DOJO in Lexington and then at the Fort Harrod Jazz Festival in Harrodsburg, KY. We hope to see YOU at one or more of these events soon!

Year in Review 

As 2017 draws to a close, we look back on what was a great year for the band. Highlights included performances at the Fort Harrod Jazz Festival, the Richmond Centre Concert Series, opening for the DiMartino/Osland Jazz Orchestra on two occasions, and a return performance at the Laurel County Public Library. We also performed at wedding receptions, a 50th Anniversary reception and occasional performances at the Wrigley Taproom.

We are very happy for members of our band who experienced great personal milestones this year. Jayson was hired as an elementary music educator in Grant County, Marissa successfully completed her music therapy internship at UK, and Aaron Zecchini got married and welcomed his daughter Zoey into the world!

We look forward to making more great music in 2018 and hope that you are able to join us when we do!

What a great year! 

As 2017 gets underway, we just wanted to take the opportunity to look back on all that happened with Miss Direction in 2016. What a great year it was for the band!
  
In January 2016, the band performed at the Jazz Education Network National Conference while it was still known as The University of the Cumberlands Jazz Combo.

Since then we have: 

Started performing regularly at The Wrigley Taproom in Corbin, KY
Added Ben Walker on piano, Aaron Zecchini on guitar and Jon Cormack on trumpet
Changed our name to Miss Direction 
Had a photoshoot for shots of the band to use for advertising 
Performed our first ‘concert’ at the Laurel County Public Library 
Played for three weddings, a birthday party and a Christmas party 
Recorded and shot a Christmas video for UC 
Added several new tunes to our repertoire

  
In addition, we now have our own website: http://www.missdirection.name/ 
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/missdirectionband 
YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKmunXX617gpuR9KT3RHEJA 
and an Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/missdirectionband/ 

Plans for 2017 include:

Enhancing 'the look' of the band
A recording session for promotional purposes
Expanding our reach further into KY and TN
Continuing to add to our repertoire
Making more great music and sharing it with everyone we can!
  
It’s been a great year and we are looking forward to what next year has in store! God Bless, Happy New Year and we hope to see you in 2017!!
