Music Under the Guns

On Wednesday, August 24 at 6:00 pm, bring the entire family for “Music Under The Guns” on board Battleship IOWA. The Pacific Battleship Center and the Long Beach Council are proud to host the US Navy Band “The Cruisers.”

As the U.S. Navy’s premier contemporary entertainment ensemble, The Cruisers feature eight of the Navy’s most dynamic performers. Formed in 1999 as a specialty unit of the United States Navy Band, The Cruisers are under the leadership of drummer Senior Chief Musician Leon Alexander. The group takes its name from the Navy’s versatile, flexible, multi-mission ship-the Cruiser-and the band lives up to their namesake by having the capabilities of playing genres of music ranging from jazz and standards, rhythm & blues, classic rock, adult contemporary and pop as well as original material.

This event is presented FREE and held outside on the ship’s fantail. Limited seating is available. Guests are encouraged to dress appropriately, bring blankets and outdoor chairs. Concessions will be available, no coolers or outside food and beverages allowed. Event is subject to cancellation due to extreme weather conditions. Donations are greatly appreciated
