Richie and his Showtime Dance Band played 3 solid hours of wonderful lively tunes for our fundraiser celebration. From the Al’s bass to Kevin’s keyboard to Richie’s drums, they set the vibe for the party and everyone had smiles on their faces. They were timely, they were perfectly in sync with our event, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you all!

Hi Richard,
On behalf of the Town of Mamaroneck Recreation Department,
I would like to thank you and the rest of your musicians for bringing a wonderful
evening of entertainment to our outdoor park last week.
The residence enjoyed every song selection and we heard so much positive feedback from everyone.
The entire band was highly professional and highlighted the evening???s performance by their enthusiastic audience participation.
It was so nice to have your singers recognize the Town of Mamaroneck for sponsoring the Outdoor Concert series.
It was a performance to remember and we appreciate all you did to make it a memorable evening.
Best regards,
Maria Gallagher

Showtime Dance Band has musical appeal for all ages.
The Band's format is a mix of today's hit music, classics, rock & roll & crossover top 40.
Their lead singers & musicians are diverse and deliver an a-list performance.
Their song renditions capture the original feelings & emotions of any music lover or enthusiast.
This experienced group of musical professionals can play any venue - programming hit after hit - reaching all age groups.
Since 2003, I have booked Showtime Dance Band here in Tuckahoe for many community events.
They've performed several times at our Annual Fireworks show as well as outdoors in the square on New Years Eve.
As an event planner myself, I'm always confident that when Showtime Dance Band is on stage, our audience is never let down - just picked up by the bands energy, rockin' style and cool image.

I just wanted to thank you and the Showtime Dance Band for the amazing job you did for my wife’s 50th birthday party. My guests could not stop raving about the music and really loved dancing to your music. Even the staff of the Union League Club in NYC were impressed. I cannot wait for my next big party so you guys can play for us again. Bravo!- Alan Sheinwald

Showtime Dance band had all the guest hopping to their wide selection of music.

For the last four days we've been getting phone calls and texts telling us how great the band and their music was.
On our neighborhood association Facebook page, neighbors have been commenting and giving likes(Thumbs up)to the music they heard playing this past Sunday July 8th.
Thank You Richie and Showtime Dance Band for making our party a huge success!!!

The Haverstraw Democratic Committee was fortunate enough to have booked the Show Time Dance Band to entertain the attendees of our Town’s annual Beer Fest in November 2017. The band put on a great performance. The music choices were just perfect for the crowd and the volume was so our diners could converse with others and still enjoy the music. The musicians were professional, talented and knowledgeable as many dancers, old and young, got on the floor to “cut the rug”. Thanks to Show Time for their part in making the evening a success. Certainly, we will book you in the future.

Dear Richie
I can't begin to describe the energy you and your band mates brought to my party last weekend. From the first note to the last you kept the party going. You assessed the crowd and found just the right combination of tunes that kept everyone on the dance floor. I've heard nothing but compliments from my guests and many have asked for your contact information. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The Town of Haverstraw had the pleasure of having the Show Time Dance
Band perform at Bowline Point Park on Thursday July 20, 2017. The crowd
enjoyed the wonderful mix of music from Motown, R&B, Pop and Jazz. The
singers had strong vocals and were very entertaining, along with a Horn
section that was just remarkable. Show Time Dance Band was a pleasure to
work with and very professional.

October 12, 2010 was the best day our lives! Mark and I cannot stop talking about the tremendous job and great display of professionalism demonstrated by The Showtime Dance Band when you and your fabulous musicians performed for our wedding day activities. From the onset, we felt assured that our ideas were considered and were very important to you and your musicians to assure the realization of our wedding dreams. Your input, research, expertise and innovative ideas regarding the musical preparation for our big day was instrumental in creating a safe and cultivating environment when we met with you. Your attention to detail and musical presentation were especially unforgettable for my husband and me and for all our guests who were in attendance. We are still getting feedback in regards to the “band that kept the party moving”. We were also especially pleased with your attention to timelines and your participation with the minutest details of the planning process. The piano solo during the wedding ceremony was a wonderful contribution that brought an elegance and sentimentality to the occasion that we could never have imagined.
Thank you, thank you and thank you again!!!!!! We could never express our appreciation as to the tremendous time we had and how you truly made our wedding dreams come true.
Sincerely yours,
Mark and Bridget Lovell

I wanted to reach out to you regarding your performance @ Renaissance Plaza on Wednesday July 11, 2012. I was very impressed with your press package but must admit your performance exceeded all expectations. It has always been easy to work with you and all the members of the band. Your musical talent and fabulous interaction with the crowd made for a fun and pleasant evening for everyone.
The feedback from attendees was great, all requesting you return for another date. I look forward to working with you for many years to come. Enjoy the rest of the summer and thanks again for getting our series off to a great start.

Thank you so much for playing at Francesca and Neal's wedding on Saturday June 11, 2011 at Harvest on the Hudson in Hastings. Words cannot describe how we feel about you and your band and we thank you for making our day that much more special. From the beginning to the end of the wedding The Showtime Dance Band had the dance floor packed. Every one of our guests loved the band and still talks about you guys to this day. Again thank you so much for being a part of our special day!!!! I cannot recommend more of a professional and courteous band to play at a event then The Showtime Dance Band.
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Neal and Francesca Bottiglieri
