The energy and chemistry generated in working together shines through to the delight of the many clients for whom the band performs each year, and the band continues receiving amazing reviews!

The source of the band’s inspiration and success is the band leader, Bennett Scher.

Bennett has also performed as a featured player on stage with the legendary John Waite and popular recording group, Poco.

The best words about the band have been spoken by clients:

“They exceeded our expectations…”
“All we kept hearing from everyone the whole night is, this band is great!
“Everyone has been contacting us asking the name of the band …”
“We could have closed our eyes and felt that the original artists were there!”
“They … were AMAZING.”
“Their music, fabulous voices, and high energy, was responsible for helping us throw such a great party”
“People were asking where we found such an “awesome” band…”

Nightsong’s talented musicians and singers are equally accomplished. In addition to wowing audiences at numerous private events throughout the years, they have all spent time performing/touring around the globe, on the stage, screen, and in the recording studio. The members of this world-class group have collectively shared the stage such renowned artists as Patti Labelle, Jennifer Holliday, REM, The B-52’s, smooth jazz artists Peter White and Slim Man, Nils Lofgren, Debbie Allen, James Ingram, The Romantics, Kelly Price, Dru Hill, Roberta Flack, Chico DeBarge, Aaliyah, John Legend, and R.Kelly to name a few! The list of talents and accomplishments with this band goes on and on.

Nightsong performs as 9 piece band consisting of guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, 3 lead vocalists (2 females and one male) and 2 horns, and is also available for smaller events in 7 piece mode (without horns), providing variety music ranging from current hits of today to yesterday’s classics.

Talent, energy, personality and professionalism with an awesome commitment to the sound of the music is the reason Nightsong continues to be one of the area’s most popular variety bands.

Well worth the price!

Nightsong played at our daughters wedding in November 2019 and they were excellent! The dance floor was full the whole night. Everyone was so excited over how good the band was. The songs they performed were amazing from the vocals to the instruments. We had many family and friends ask for their information so that they could book them for their events. From our 2 year old flower girl to the 80 year old grandparents, they stayed on the dance floor the whole time. Thank you so much for making the reception so unforgettable! Well worth the money! You all were fantastic!
Betsy and Tim's Wedding

NIGHTSONG was fantastic, and of course you can quote me! The L-O-V-E arrangement is a really thoughtful idea, which I will frame for Betsy and Tim. I know Tiffany had a lot to do with coordinating the ‘show flow’ and timeline, and of course I will send her praise separately.

From the moment we arrived at the reception `{`Decatur House`}`, all things band-related seemed to flow like magical clockwork. During cocktail hour, the music was festive but not overwhelming. The introductions and toasts, as assisted by the band, were flawless. The first dance was lovely, just as imagined by the bride and groom. And then the real highlight of the evening came as the band launched into our playlist. They played with a cheerful energy that captured the joy of the occasion, and was contagious. It didn’t take long for the guests to jump to the dance floor, and keep dancing until the very end. Audience engagement was just right—I think a couple of guests thought about trying to join the band because they were having so much fun! NIGHTSONG was terrific in every way, and it will be our pleasure to recommend them. With best wishes, Mary Beth Ray, mother of the bride

NIGHTSONG -- Super band!!

Nightsong had played for my friend’s daughter’s wedding. I usually don’t remember particular bands, but I really like Nightsong. So when it came for my daughter’s wedding, my choice was easy. My daughter and her fiance watched some band videos and liked Nightsong. I cannot tell you how glad I am that we chose Nightsong! The dance floor was packed nonstop the entire night — down to the last minute! Somehow they knew the exact right songs to play to make the crowd happy. The energy from Bennett and his crew was non-stop and amazing. They were clearly having a great time, happy to be playing and it was contagious! When the band played, you just had to dance. And smile! My son, who knows music and is a major concert-goer, said that Nightsong sounded like the original artists. The wedding was great and I honestly think that Nightsong had a lot to do with it!
