Grumpy Old Men

The 15-piece Grumpy Old Men Jazz Band is dedicated to preserving the musical heritage of the big band era of the 1930's, '40's & '50's. Most are retired music teachers and musicians from the greater La Crosse area. The band’s performance repertoire rotates through a library of over 200 selections from Glenn Miller, Les Brown, Benny Goodman, George Gershwin, and many others from the swing era.

The Grumpy Old Men Jazz Band has been entertaining area audiences for over 30 years, maintaining an active schedule performing for nursing and assisted living homes, senior centers, dances, charity events, public concerts, and the concert in the park series in La Crosse and surrounding communities.
