The band is always punctual, professional and highly entertaining. Performances are well crafted and practiced in advance. Attention to detail is given to client requests for select songs or thematic evenings (50's, Mo-Town, Elvis, Disco, etc.). Requests for costumes or style/color of dress are honored when possible. Members of the audience are encouraged to step up to the mic if the client so deems appropriate. The performance sets are generally 45 minutes with 15 minute breaks. Typically the band can be contracted for 2, 3 or more hours. Written contracts are available for all clients. The band maintains both sound and light systems if needed at no additional cost.
Native New Yorker prides itself on professionalism. We work well with all participants and are respectful of all employees at the venues in which we perform. The band members are non smokers and never consume alcohol while performing. Our musical sets are well constructed and usually last approx one hour. We keep our breaks to no more than 15 minutes.
The band has two female lead singers; one of whom is also our drummer. Their singing is amazing and the rest of the band displays the highest caliber of musicianship. The members are congenial and appear exactly as they are; a group of people who love what they do and never let their audiences down. Each musician has performed extensively and several have toured throughout the country with other projects.
The band honors all requests for special songs and recommends when possible that they be communicated in advance. The song choices reflect 7 decades of classic Rock'n'Roll tunes which are well rehearsed, well known hits and are highly entertaining.
The band maintains reliable transportation, sound and light systems and its own road crew.
