Introduction Straight Ahead, the band is a versatile, exciting New York-based dance band that has performed all over the world. Their award-winning musicians and singers have been featured on television and Broadway, and have played alongside well-known recording artists and movie stars. They have performed at venues such as the Waldorf, the Four Seasons, and in nightclubs and concerts for royalty, dignitaries, family gatherings, private events, and corporations large and small. Straight Ahead, the band knows how to play a crowd and suit the occasion: a Gatsby-themed fundraiser, a wedding, a 60’s sock hop, or a night at the disco. From corporate event to birthday party, the band strikes just the right tone with a mix of classic and contemporary dance hits, ballads, and jazz. Band leaders Donna Harris and John Bauers bring a friendly and supportive attitude with an uncommon commitment to their clientele. Their skills and professionalism put event planner, caterer, and client at ease while the band’s sense of fun works a contagious effect on the crowd.
