The Destination is a 9-pc. dance band with its musical focus in the genres of R&B, Latin influenced material, Swing and Funk/Disco. Four outstanding vocalists (2 women and 2 men) and four horns sets this group apart from virtually every other group in the CNY area. No other group in the area can match the dynamics and crowd motivating force of The Destination.
The rhythm section can play anything from Sweet Home Alabama to The Wanderer, Tush to Patsy Kline, but the band's repertoire is built around the horns and vocals. As a result, music lovers will be happy to know that Brown Eyed Girl is only played if requested by the Bride and Groom.
The classy mix that results are songs that everybody knows, but not every band plays. The dance floor is almost always cookin' from song one. People leave a Destination party saying they've never heard a band like that before.
Add to the phenomenal lineup on stage the most attentive and detail-oriented sound and lighting techs in the business. Joey J owns staging, lighting and sound reinforcement equipment to match almost any space and he personally oversees the set-up and sound checking before every gig. His production is always custom-tailored for the job. Again, at the regional/local level, no one matches the way The Destination's stage is put together.
Among the countless weddings, nightclubs and parties, The Destination has played at the Corning Glass Museum Annual Fundraiser, the Clemens Center, the Taughannock Park Concert Series, the Statler Towers in Buffalo, a Stamford/MIT conference, the top of the Omni Parker House in Boston, and at the three local colleges (Wells, Cornell, Ithaca College) for reunions, etc.
