About

The NICHE is a "hybrid" between traditional big band and DJ - we feature two live musicians and two lead singers (one guy, one girl) and the optional DJ/MC. Our musicians play live with DJ-preproduced rhythm tracks. We sound like the original recordings because of this method. Why pay for extra musicians when you can get the same sound in a smaller footprint? And our singers are dynamic!

We've played in New Jersey and New York's top venues. That experience helps us in performing at a high level.

Our people are experienced pros that have toured with big names in the entertainment industry.

We cover a wide list of the most requested songs in all genres and we're flexible to meet client requests. Please see our promo materials here and visit our website - Nicheband.com for photos, video, press, songlist and more info.

"The Niche" performers really love live performance - and that feeling of keeping the crowd moving on the dance floor. From "standards" to "Motown" to "disco/funk", "classic rock", "the 80's" and the hits of today - it's fun performing music!

    Excellent !
    I have had the privilege of meeting The Niche Band back when they referred to themselves as Shawn, John, & Mel ( I kind of miss that name ) I have worked with them professionally for over 6 years as a hospitality F&B Manager, which has been my career for almost 15 years. They came in modest, but they have no reason to be, as they are an EXCELLENT group with incredible talent & professionalism. I have managed both small private run restaurants with weekly entertainment, as well as high end magnificent rooftop hotels on the New York waterfront (truly spectacular). They were really a perfect fit for both. The small private operated restaurant had an older clientele who expected more mellow dinner music (the Classics if you will), and the Rooftop was a trendy, sassy, sexy clientele who wanted exactly that type of music. The Niche Band never disappointed in terms of performance, promptness, professionalism, & especially attitude. I look forward to working with them in my new position running a country club. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Working in this business you meet many personalities in the musician department, & they were always a true pleasure to work with. One of my favorites! I HIGHLY recommend them and can promise you will not be disappointed!

    Frequently asked questions

    We begin by listening and answering your questions. We're here to help you -  if we can't meet your needs directly - we will help you understand the best options for your particular needs.  Start with a simple phone call, or an "online meeting" and discuss your needs.   We'll take the guesswork out of the band business and make sure you wind up with a great event - with the music perfect for the occasion. 

    John, your first contact at The Niche is a Professional Musician, Producer-Arramger and Music Director with a lifetime of experience in music. He holds two degrees - one in music and one in education - that experience means you'll find the professionalism you'll require in putting together the perfect music plan for your special event. 

    All "Niche" performers are full time professional musicians/singers who have recorded and toured with major industry stars. 

    Individual situations determine pricing. Saturday nights tend to be the most busy and  price - The Niche is also "flexible"- offering the popular "hybrid" band/dj combination and customizing to whatever you request.  We're proactive in pricing and we'll do everything possible to beat our competitors' whenever we can.  Consistently, we offer some of the tri-state area's elite musicians and singers.  

    John, your first contact at "The Niche" started studying keyboards and piano as a young student. He's performed music throughout his life.  All "The Niche" performers are full-time professional musicians/singers with experience and outstanding professional ability.  

    The Niche clients are successful working professionals having company/coporate events, weddings and private parties and at some of the tri-state areas most popular and acclaimed catering facilities.  

    We just played an outdoor wedding in Long Island at a private residence.  The weather was great and the outside only audience was able to socially distance. The parents of the bride and groom had us play two overtimes!  

    Listen carefully to the presentation of the band, but be ready to ask some questions - for example, ask them if their video is really "live" or if it was in phases, in the studio.  The Niche features a completely live - no overdubs video.  In other words, what you hear is REALLY what you'll get!
