We have been performing for over 12 years at various functions throughout the Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York regions. We are a high-energy band consisting of three horns and 6 vocalists*** enabling us to play any style of music with authenticity, and have the ability to keep the dance floor packed at all times!

Please check through our website for a list of many of our prestigious clients.
Our musicians hail from various places in the tri-state area. Atlantic City, Philadelphia, New York, Princeton and in between. Many have performed with major acts in Atlantic City as well as other cities, including the islands and Europe.
The group is led by Keith Franklin (piano and vocals) and Laraine Alison (managing, sales and party planning).Our lead female vocalist is the extremely talented Alisia Epps. The rhythm section consists of Blue Eagle (drums and lead vocals), Jason Wolbach (guitar and lead vocals), and MIchael Maiorano (bass guitar) . Our horn section is led by Paul Brandenburg (trumpet and lead vocals) Michael Dotterer (trombone, web designer and all around nice guy),Tony Gairo ( tenor sax), and for larger horn sections Rob Henke (trumpet)Also now with us is fantastic guitarist/vocalist, Guy Petersen. Last but not least, Billy Nutter, our sound engineer.We can also add on additional superb female vocalist Carla Benson and horns. And we can scale down as needed .** This combination makes up one of the most exciting bands around.
The main goal of this band is to make you get out of your seats and dance. And you will.
We can expand or subtract as needed for the party requirements.**
We do not need 8 extra singers to make a party happen, we can do it with 6, 7 8 pieces..there is the measure of true talent....keep it real..
We are not an agency, only one band.
It makes a difference!***winner of 2009& 2010 WEDDING WIRE BRIDES CHOICE AWARD!
