About The Royal Virginians 

The Royal Virginians Big Band was founded in 2004 by an energetic young band leader from Richmond, Virginia named Joe Enroughty.  Today the orchestra boasts some of the area's top musicians and has a reputation for providing quality musical entertainment that is very affordable.

The Royal Virginians, under the direction of 33 year old Joe Enroughty, continue to be the leader in Big Band entertainment for the Central Virginia area.  The orchestra performs music made famous by many of the "name bands" of the Big Band Era including: Guy Lombardo, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Harry James, Russ Morgan, Jan Garber, and many more.  Five very talented arrangers write the arrangements for the orchestra to give it a fresh and unique sound not found in many of today's Big Bands.

Vocalists Cathy Saydlowski and Dick Orange add to the musical splendor of the orchestra and bring to life many of the greatest popular songs of our time.  Songs like "Exactly Like You," "Where Or When," "As Time Goes By," and "All The Way" are just a sampling of the many selections Cathy and Dick can perform for you.  You'll hear songs associated with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Keely Smith, Judy Garland, Michael Buble, and more!

Recently, the orchestra has traveled to the Washington, D.C. area, Maryland, Charlottesville, Williamsburg, and many other localities away from their home base.
