Introduction

We’re thrilled you’re looking at our profile! Wedding reception? Cocktail hour? Corporate event? Birthday party? No matter the celebration or event let Cyndi and Rob bring the party to your party! Our fun mix of classic rock, 90's alternative, pop, current hits, and jazz standards always strikes the right note(ha!) to make your party fun!

Our customizable backing tracks allow us to add bass, drums, piano, and other instruments to our core sound to create a fuller sound when desired. We’re dependable and seasoned professionals and you can find us most weekends playing at various bars and restaurants on Long Island.

Everything from young adults looking for high energy music to senior centers that want to line dance and/or for the music to be quieter.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We recently had two gigs in one day, a senior center in the afternoon and 24 year old birthday party in Greenwich Village at night. For both events we played the music that attendees wanted, highlighting the versatility of genres we can play.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Make sure they are responsive, dependable, and willing to work with you on the music YOU want!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What is the budget for music? How many musicians do you want? What instruments do you want? How long of a performance would you like? Do you want music straight through the event or will the band be able to take breaks? Do you require insurance? Some venues require the band to have liability insurance.
