Big City Jazz” in our small town!
“BE Jazz has been playing the “Wednesday Night Jazz” at the Chef’s Table Club for many
years. They’ll be back for their 14 th season next summer, and Shane has created a wonderful
tradition in Banner Elk. He plays to a full house every week, and frequently brings in guest
artists to keep everyone surprised. It’s an exciting show… we are fortunate to have our dose of
“big city jazz” in our small town!

Shane and his band produce magic
“Shane Chalke’s BE Jazz brings a unique ensemble of musicians to the Beech Alpen inn, which attracts an exciting, eclectic audience. As Shane brings together young and old alike, BE Jazz allows listeners to sit back, relax and become charmed by the wonderful contemporary jazz,
mixed with classic jazz sounds, such as Louis Armstrong’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Shane and his band produce magic and listeners will be delighted. The Band is so accommodating to allow the audience to participate in the performance. We love bringing them back year after year, and we hope they continue to grace the Beech Alpen Inn with their smooth sounds."
