NEW DAWN, formally known as Signify, is a band made up of New York's most innovated musicians. Dawnette Darden, lead singer of New Dawn picked all the members of the band by hand and heart. After selecting these fine musicians, they went on to create a "funkenstein" musical venture. These masterful musicians have collaborated to create the best new sound out of the New York area. They bring unbelievable magic and an electrifying performance to all stages.
The HOODOO LOUNGERS are a nine-piece East Coast based band performing music inspired by the rhythms, sounds, history and spirit of New Orleans. The band's sound encompasses traditional New Orleans Jazz, Brass Band, classic R&B and funk - a blend of original music and re-arranged New Orleans classics. The HooDoo's perform a high energy and highly entertaining show that will please young and old alike. Since it's formation in 2008, the HooDoo's have performed at numerous East Coast music festivals and concerts as well as performing at top music venues such as the Paramount Theater (Huntington), The Stephen Talkhouse (The Hamptons) and B.B. Kings Blues Club (NYC).
