" The Most Entertaining Band in Central NY! "

It’s NOT Just a Band...It’s THE DESTINATION

This 9-piece dance machine has been makin’ a scene for 25+ years. The secret to their success is NO secret. They have:

• Off the chart musicianship and vocals. 

• An amazing set list: Eclectic in scope but with a common thread --The Good Stuff that Moves Your Feet! 

• Top shelf stage production (PA/lights) with the best sound tech - so good it's like he's not there.

• And keeping it all running smoothly and bridging the divide between the crowd and the band is the hardest working man in show business -- Joe Lonsky (aka Joey J or Little joe).

A note about the musicianship: This lineup of musicians has played as side men for a long list of the greats. Chuck Berry, The Temptations, Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Maynard Ferguson, Frank Sinatra Jr., The Spinners, Bobby Vinton, The Miles Davis Orchestra! Heck, the trumpet player, Jeff Stockham, was in the movie, Lincoln, with his Civil War band for three seconds!  These guys have been around 
and proven themselves. They play with The Destination to prove one more thing: That you can have boatloads of fun while giving 110% 
to your trade. 

Where has the band played? Well, they’ve done private events as far away as Ports-mouth NH, Boston, Rhinebeck NY, Buffalo, NYC. Besides the hundreds of clients who have hired us for their weddings/parties, the client list includes: Cornell University,  The Corning Museum of Glass, Wells College, WLPGA, the Auburn, Ithaca, Corning, and Elmira Country Clubs, NASA, and AMA. 

A quick plug for one of our favorite places to play: Treleaven (King Ferry Winery) - a great place logistically AND artistically. The band always gets record crowds there. It’s a great place to bring a date or the whole family. Treleaven’s moniker is “We Are Your Backyard!" THAT nails it! 

But the truth is, all the gigs on our calendar are amazing! That’s why they’re on the calendar. After 25 years, it’s nice to be at The Destination.
