The Janis Nowlan Band is a non-stop, high-energy dance band featuring six exceptional vocalists, keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, a full horn section (sax, trumpet and trombone) and an amazing conga player who formerly toured with recording artist Grover Washington, Jr., as his featured vocalist and percussionist. 

The band is extremely versatile, with an extensive repertoire of great dance music “authentically performed” without breaks; to keep the party energized! We customize the music at every event to accommodate specific requests. To insure the best quality sound, an audio technician is present at every performance. Rehearsals are held regularly to keep up to date with the most current music.

In addition to Contemporary music, we offer a wide selection of R & B, Motown, Club Dance, Hip-Hop, Funk, Disco, Classic Rock, the 80’s and 70’s, Alternative, Reggae, Blues, 50’s/Oldies, Swing/ Big Band Jazz, Sinatra, Standards, Latin, Ethnic, Broadway and traditional Ballroom Dance music. Our musicians and vocalists are the same at each performance, which keeps are sound consistent!

The Janis Nowlan Band has been performing together for twelve years, providing superlative entertainment throughout the East Coast. They entertain in the finest hotels and upscale nightclubs and are referred by choice venues from Boston to New York, Philadelphia to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. to Virginia.

Janis provides complete services for your entertaining needs, whether you are planning a wedding, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, corporate event, gala, charity ball, or a special celebration.

Unlike entertainment agencies that represent “multiple bands”, there is only one Janis Nowlan Band and we are independent of all agencies.
