I started off 25 years ago as a choreographer singer for a ’70s tribute band called Polyester. I later went on to start my own band Lip Service with my business partner David Blair. We ran that dance band for 20 years and played all over New Jersey including Atlantic City and New York City. After the pandemic we have regrouped and come up with good vibes only.

We have the entire Frank Sinatra collection. We also have a lot of sixties and ’70s music.
