DLE Southern California Variety Dance Bands

NRG
NRG (a 7 to 34-piece) is "the ultimate" variety dance band. Their fantastic "Cirque Show"--with aerial performers--and other beautifully costumed shows (a Chicago Show, an Ice Angel Show, etc.) is unique in the industry. This is a true variety dance band as they perform all styles of music superbly. They encourage audience participation, have sensational costumes and are well-choreographed. The Band's (female vocalist) front line is very deep as are all of their band positions, allowing the Band to split into two and do multiple events on the same night. Their Dance Orchestras (13 pieces and larger) feature a female string trio or quartet. They are available in S.F., Palm Springs, Chicago, L.A., San Diego, N.Y., D.C., Lake Tahoe, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Hawaii and virtually any city in the U.S. A link to their outstanding DVD is provided in the box below.
