About the Band

Nightsong

The very best moment of any party is when the band plays a song you love just at the right time, lifts the energy of the room to a perfect pinnacle, and gives you that “this is AMAZING” feeling. For over 20 years, Nightsong has dazzled audiences with incredible moments just like that, earning a reputation as a top band in the region with joyful reviews from clients and event planners alike.

Nightsong generates captivating energy on stage from the dynamic chemistry of three talented vocalists combined with so many world-class musicians. Founder and guitarist Bennett Scher’s experience started in New York as a singer-songwriter, publisher and as both a studio and touring musician performing with notable musicians from the bands of Billy Joel, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, The Doobie Brothers, Bette Midler, and Poco. Over the years, Bennett assembled Nightsong’s lineup to include talented singers and musicians who are equally as accomplished. In addition to wowing audiences at hundreds of private events throughout the years, they have collectively honed their craft by performing live on the stage and screen around the globe, as well as in recording studios all over the country.

Nightsong most commonly performs as a 9 piece band consisting of a strong frontline of three captivating lead vocalists (2 female, 1 male), a four-piece rhythm unit full of funk that includes guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums, as well as a soulful two-piece horn section (sax and trumpet). The band maintains ultimate flexibility and can scale down for smaller events as a seven-piece without horns, or add a third horn (trombone) and play as a ten-piece lineup for larger-scale events.

In any configuration, Nightsong provides a versatile music variety ranging from current hits of today to yesterday’s classics, delivering with seamless musical transitions and charming crowd engagement, all of which results in a power-packed display of showmanship to excite guests younger and older. Experts at reading the energy of the audience and the overall vibe of the night, the entire band brings the experience to adapt any performance to the unique flow of any event.

Talent, energy, personality and professionalism with an awesome commitment to the authentic sound of the music is the reason Nightsong continues to be one of the area’s most popular variety bands. Nightsong has been recognized as a “Best Wedding Vendor” by Washingtonian Magazine in the DC area, and their clients have exclaimed:

“They exceeded our expectations…”

Testimonial

Music is so important to me and Nightsong completely exceeded my expectations! They were incredible!! Vocalist, guitarist, horn section hit it out of the park!!! So much talent and they could not have been nicer! I have been in and to a lot of weddings. I feel honored that they were my wedding band.

I would venture to say that they are easily the best band we have ever heard. We have been to probably more than 15 weddings in the past three years, and we have never heard a band like this. We desperately wish we could do it all over and party with the band again! I'd also like to note that Bennett was great to work with and so easy going.

We were blown away by Nightsong. They were truly incredible. They kept up the energy in the crowd for the entire night, gave me an opportunity to sing, and were so professional throughout the whole process. They even perfectly mastered songs we wanted to incorporate into our wedding only weeks before the date itself. They truly made the reception the party we always dreamed of and we cannot be more grateful! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Nightsong was incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better band. Nightsong made our wedding at the Women's Museum a night to remember, and their rendition of CRAZY IN LOVE and BILLIE JEAN in particular we'll always think about. Hire Nightsong! Now!

We hired Nightsong for our wedding and the band was absolutely phenomenal! Everyone was raving how amazing they were, and the dance floor was always packed! Nightsong had a great repertoire of songs and somehow read the room to know what types of music to keep playing. They were so easy to work with prior to the day of the wedding and made sure the day of ran smoothly. Bennett, the lead of the band was amazing to work with and was extremely responsive! I cannot recommend them enough! Nightsong made our wedding!

Now that we have fully recovered from that dance floor, we just wanted to send a sincere thank you for the best night ever! We have never seen a dance floor so packed for the entire time and we have been to 30 weddings together! Everyone is raving about Nightsong and how incredible you all were.

Simply Amazing! Our wedding day was absolutely magical, and Nightsong and Mirna played a huge part in making it so unforgettable. Nightsong was the perfect choice for our wedding band they played an incredible mix of classic and contemporary tunes that kept everyone out on the dance floor all night long. Their energy was contagious, and they truly made the atmosphere feel like a celebration of love and happiness. I was on the fence whether to have a live band or a DJ and ultimately chose to have a live band as my friend showed us Nightsong. If you are considering having a live band at your wedding you have to choose Nightsong.

Nightsong is the MOST Incredible Band! Nightsong was by far one of the best wedding bands I've ever experienced. They know how to keep the party going, end on a high energy finale, and they even did a custom horn/drum second line to lead me to the cocktail hour and after party. Nightsong was incredible and I cannot recommend enough. We had a wedding of 240 guests and every single one was on the dance floor!

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.

What is the cost to book a band for an event?

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.

Does a band provide all their instruments and sound equipment?

Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.

Do bands provide lighting?

All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.

How long can I expect the band to play?

Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.

How far in advance should I book a band?

Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
