Meet the band:
Janice Johnson, on vocals and emcee, masterfully interchanges styles from the disco queens to the bad girl rockers, from the techno squeaks to the soulful divas of the time.
Jeremy Davis on keyboards and vocals is an old soul . He expertly creates the layered synthesizer sounds that are the heart and soul of this musical genre.
Did Eddie Van Halen or Neal Schon just slip in the back door? No it's Tom Bognar, guitar and vocals, on the guitar. He effortlessly channels the era's many virtuoso guitarists.
Our fourth vocalist, Joe Martinez, on bass adds a Latin touch with songs in Spanish.
Tony Walsh, on drums and digital effects keeps everybody moving.
We like the music best, of course! But the satisfaction comes from seeing people enjoy and celebrate. We hope to be an integral part of creating a successful and truly memorable event.
