New York Variety Band 2
Dynamic, Breathtaking, and Awesome are only a few of the adjectives used to describe this talented New York Variety Band. The group consists of a male and female lead vocalist and three female background singers. This group delivers solid, well rehearsed presentations likened only to that of national recording artists. Considered by many to be one of the longest performing acts in the Eastern United States, they are often imitated, but never duplicated. They create a show so that their audience is a part of their presentation.
This New York Variety Band is considered by many as one of the most exciting show bands in the music business. Backed by their five piece rhythm section, they are quickly becoming one of the most popular bands on the East Coast. With their incredible ability to cover decades of music from the 50’s to the present, big band, Motown, classic soul, smooth R&B and Top 40, the purpose for this band is to please everyone.

…Everybody loved the band, and you got rave reviews. Even the courthouse guards said you were the best band that had played there in a long time. Lil DeMarse, my co-chair, told me she has hired 15 bands in her day and you were better than any of them……and she’s from NC (Charlotte) so she should know a good band when she hears one…

[This band] is fantastic! From the moment they stepped on stage until the last song they kept the show fun, exciting and entertaining whether we were in our seats or on the dance floor! They were polite and professional. The transition between songs was always smooth and they exhibited very high energy performances and had great interaction with the crowd. [The leader of the band’s] attention to detail in planning the best performance possible was much appreciated. Wonderful communication, talented performers, reasonable fees and most importantly… they delivered on their promise of a show we wouldn’t soon forget! What more could you ask? PERFECT!

[This band] is a dynamic group that will sing you happy. They performed at my daughters college graduation party and they sang the last song with the same enthusiasm as the first. There were people in attendance from the age of sixteen to eighty, and everyone had a great time. The band performed something for all the age groups. People are still talking about that party. Not only did [this band] sing and dance, but they put on a show that the “none” dancers stayed until the end just to watch. I was more than pleased with this group and I’m waiting for my sixtieth birthday to have them perform again.

A big Thank you to you and your band! You guys were perfect!!!!!!!! The senior club absolutely loved you. I have never seen them dance like they danced last night. You kept the program interesting enough for the younger crowd as well. You put on a fabulous show! Thank you also for putting up with me. I had no idea how to run things, my husband kept telling me “this is not the first dinner they have played at, they know what they are doing!” And you truly did! You were a hit with young and old!

[This band] is amazing! From the beginning until the end of the show the performance was entertaining and exciting with great showmanship!! I recommend this band for corporate events, reunions, receptions, outdoor concerts or parties. Whatever the occasion is this band will deliver with high energy and professionalism.

I am a big fan of [this Band]. I enjoy listening to their soul stirring music that makes you want to move on to the dance floor. I have traveled long distances to hear their music and was in the audience when [the leader of the band] received the 1996 Billy Scott Lifetime Achievement Award for his great vocals. A lot of musicians currently just sing, but this Band literally puts on a show. The harmony of the ladies that back him up greatly compliment his smooth, silky baritone voice. Pure “entertainment” is what I would say about the shows that this group puts on. No yelling, no rapping, no screaming, just good, sweet soul music. I love it.

I experienced this [band] at my college graduation party in Charlotte, NC. I was relieved to see a variety of age groups enjoying the music and feeling like their time and travel to the event was well worth it. The dress changes and interaction with the crowd was a bonus and help set a relaxed and festive atmosphere.

I have had the express privilege of enjoying this band on several occasions over the years. The two performances I witnessed most recently were at a “swanky” wedding on Bald Head Island near Wilmington, North Carolina and last year in the heat of the summer, performing outside in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am very impressed with this band’s ability to captivate all audiences whether performing for the rich and wealthy or the modest, meek and lowly! Their seasoned showmanship coupled with the strong vocal and musical ability of the band members, renders a performance that one enjoys and remembers for a long time after the show ends. If you are looking for a professional band that will be accountable in business affairs, offer diversity in musical affairs and be relatable in people affairs, look no further, this band will give you all of these benefits and more!
