Music for people who LOVE music.

We are a group of professional musicians who have performed all over the US and Canada, including opening acts for musical legends: Ray Charles, Kenny Chesney, The Police, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Marilyn McCoo and The Pointer Sisters.

With over 25 years in the music business, including national touring acts, and well over 800 songs on our request list, we know what great music is, and we have the talent and experience to play it right! That¡¦s what our group is all about.

We've performed in 46 US States in such renowned venues as: Astoria World Manor, Essex House, Biltmore & the Waldorf Astoria, resorts such as Greenbrier (WV), Nemacolin & Bedford Springs (PA), hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, Hotel DuPont, Grand Hotel (MI), Sagamore (NY) and Hotel Hershey, and landmarks like the National Constitution Center, The Franklin Institute, Rockefeller Center and the Lincoln Center.

We¡¦ve played casinos in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe. We¡¦ve been onstage with Donald & Ivana Trump (separately of course), Bill Cosby, and Pennsylvania governors Ed Rendell & Mark Schweiker, as well as former president George W. Bush. We¡¦ve performed for Mercedes Benz USA, IBM, AAA, AMWAY (national convention), Rotary International (East Coast conference), Caterpillar, Bank Of America, Hershey Park, GIANT Foods, Weis Markets, Ingersoll-Rand & Wachovia, to name a few.

We are fully insured, self-contained (with all the equipment we need), punctual and absolutely dependable. We love what we do, and we always have fun with our music and our audience, but we also are business people who understand that you can¡¦t afford to take a chance with a band that drinks, shows up late, is dressed inappropriately, plays at the wrong volume or can¡¦t play the music you need. We even create special arrangements of music for themed events (cartoons, TV shows, sports themes, award music, etc.).

Our bookings are most often comprised of corporate events, weddings, anniversaries, private parties and themed events for people who are looking for something special, professional and more versatile than other groups can provide.

For maximum versatility, we can vary the size of the band to suit your venue and the number of people in attendance as well as your musical tastes (rock, latin, jazz, oldies, etc.) and the energy level that you are looking for. Available ensembles range from duo to sextet and prices vary accordingly. With a duo you will get myself on (keyboards, bass, alto, tenor, soprano saxophones and vocals), and your choice of a female singer who plays light percussion, or a guitarist (electric, jazz archtop & acoustic guitars). To that we will add a drummer, a latin percussionist and a trumpet/flugelhorn player (wonderful for people who like jazz, smooth jazz and the energy of a live horn section).

The audio samples you will listen to are our actual 'live' sound. We take full advantage of the best of modern music technology to provide the sound of a full band in a smaller group. This way we can keep the prices down, the setup smaller, and the volume under control (something most bands don't do). As we add more performers, we dispense with the electronics and what you hear is the unmatched quality of live, top-tier artists at their musical best.

Most bands have one or two kinds of music that they perform best and are comfortable with. Our tremendous experience allows us to play anything from jazz & smooth jazz (perfect for the cocktail hour) to standards, rock and roll, oldies, country, island, disco, funk, strict-tempo ballroom rhythms and high-energy dance music and roll from one style to another all evening long while keeping the overall sound and volume consistent and under control. We can play music that everyone can dance to and still keep the older folks happy with fresh versions of classic tunes from the 50's and 60's. We keep a copy of our Request List with us at all times and are happy to take requests from any of the guests so that we can play everyone¡¦s favorites.

The song list below is a very small part of our repertoire, but I will be happy to email you a pdf document containing our entire repertoire of over 800 tunes. We also can provide a CD Demo of the band if you need one.

Please contact us for further details or additional information you need. I will be very happy to chat with you on the phone and discuss your special event and your particular needs! Give us a call; phone calls make us feel special! ļ

Here are some of our many client testimonials:

The Neil Wright Band made my evening. I totally enjoyed their performance. They were very accommodating. They assisted me announcements and distribution of favors. They looked beautiful. I just found each member's performance amazing. When Mr. Wright played and sang Rob Thomas' song "Someday" I concluded 'This is the man'. Their overall harmony, professionalism, competency, and kindness surpassed any I have ever encountered. This band is a hard act to follow. I would certainly recommend them without any reservation. This was indeed money well spent. -- Edry J, New York City, NY, 9/25/2010

Neil Wright and his band was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! We could not have chosen a better musical talent for our wedding. Neil played his sexy sax on the beach for our ceremony which brought everyone to tears! Inside for the reception the band, the vocals, just everything about them was just fantastic. The restaurant where we had our wedding even commented on how great they were and asked for business cards to refer them for future events. I would recommend this band to anyone and everyone looking to have one of the best musical talents you could ask for. -- Lois M, Belmar, NJ, 8/29/2009

Neil Wright and his band were excellent. He contacted us on several occasions, answered questions we had, and called several days before the wedding to double check on the arrangements. We requested that they play music that would keep everyone dancing - (ages 4-80) which they did. During dinner the music was appropriately low to allow everyone to talk across the table. Several guests remarked that they were able to talk with ease - which is often not the case at large parties. -- Ann C, 12/29/2010, Wedding Reception, Saint Davids, PA

They were fabulous. My friends are still talking about how great they were! They had everyone on the dance floor. I can't say enough about how pleased I was!!!!!!! -- Cynthia M, Baltimore, MD, 11/22/2008

We LOVE them! They have done three events for us this year and we have enjoyed every moment. They have a great selection of songs, Neil and Diana are so friendly! We will be using them for any event we have if they are available. If not we may reschedule our event. -- Renee Y, Annapolis, MD, 10/4/2008

We were extremely please with the Neil Wright band for our wedding. They accommodated last minute changes, displayed a great deal of versatility with a trumpet/guitar jazz formation during cocktail hours, jazzy background music during dinner and amazing party sound later on. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. -- Niklas U, Edgemont, PA, 9/27/2008

Neil Wright Band was absolutely wonderful. They were so professional and accommodating to all our requests. Their music/vocal were absolutely beautiful and wonderful. Many of our guests commented on how great the band was. We were really pleased with them and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family. Thank you !!!! -- Wei-chi C, Frederick, MD, 11/1/2008

The overall experience with the band was amazing. They gave me a wide selection of music to pick from and performed each song to perfection. The crowd loved their background Sinatra and Sade and danced/ sang along to their lively tunes such as Last Dance! It was my first time working with them and I was very impressed. I would recommend them for any event, from corporate to weddings, I'm sure they would be great! -- Melody M, Binghamton, NY, 10/27/2007

The Neil Wright Band was amazing to work with. We interact with dozens of performers per month as part the York College Campus Activities Board, and very few are as great to work with! We would LOVE To work with them more often! -- Cody B, York, PA, 2/13/2008

The Neil Wright Band (trio) was outstanding at our recent wedding held at the Phoenixville Country Club. They are highly professional team, with wide range music/voice/instrumentation that adopted very well to our dinner and reception of ~110. From the start of our relationship (months ago) up to the big day . the evening was flawless. Highly recommend the NWB and would use them again without hesitation. -- Dennis E, Valley Forge, PA, 6/7/2008

The Neil Wright Band was wonderful. They made Derrick and my day one to remember. They took they time to really listen to what we wanted and delivered more. Even though it turn into one of the hottest days the guitarist who was sitting in direct sun preformed beautifully and exactly. All band members were very friendly and approachable. I want to again thank them for everything. I have already recommended them to two other couples and intend to continue doing so. Derrick and Anne -- Annemarie G, Middletown, PA, 6/27/2010

Fantastic band and extremely accommodating! Our event changed locations at the last minute, but Neil and his band were able to roll with the punches and provide a seamless transition. They also were able to meet my special request of providing music for cocktails in one area, moving to a different room for dinner music, and back out to the cocktail area for dancing after dinner. Would highly recommend this band for their professionalism and talent. It was a pleasure to work with them and I will most certainly hire them again! -- Kara E, Burlington, NJ, 6/11/2010

I can't say enough good things about the Neil Wright Band- they had a substantial role in making our wedding such a wonderful day! We had three pieces during our cocktail hour playing a lot of 20s and 30s jazzy pieces with the sax, jazz guitar, and a snare drum. For the reception, we had four pieces- Neil on the sax, keyboard & vocals, a guitarist, drummer, and female vocalist playing dinner music during the courses and then playing fun dance music until the end of the evening. They were incredible. They learned our first dance song, and sounded exactly like the real thing! Again, they were fabulous, and are highly recommended for your big event! -- Lori W, Wilmington, DE, 5/15/2010

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our band! We¡¦d love to talk with you, so please contact us to chat about your OWN event!

Thanks,

Neil Wright
