When the music stopped in 2020, The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra thought that it might be the end for the band.
“We jokingly refer to ourselves now as ‘the most non-essential workers’ in all of America,” said Jeremy Davis, bandleader and saxophonist for The Fabulous Equinox Orchestra.
“We say that tongue-in-cheek. The arts move the soul and it is very important, but during a pandemic, anything requiring a crowd is game-off. Having lost all our work, all the swanky weddings, all the corporates, all the theater, all the tours, all the big things and little things, we settled into the new reality of what life was going to be like for us.”
