Former members of the world famous Café Wha? house band have collaborated to create one of the most unique musical groups in NYC that bring a high-octane blend of non-stop R&B, Funk, Reggae and Classic Rock.
Complete with horn and percussion sections, lead singing guest divas and a smooth as silk in the cut bass player these cast of characters are whats hot.
Why the name The UnionN and why the extra N?
Just when the dust started to clear after their departure from Café Wha?, the founding members decided to pursue a Novel and ideal Notion; continue to build on their success as NYCs hottest band while working on their individual and collective dream(s) to construct New art.
They are currently in the studio creating, and feeling righteous about their craft. Stay tuned for more original music to be posted very soon!
What the press is saying:
The New York Post described them this way: Power house talent - you'd be hard-pressed to find a more exhilarating evening out.
The New York Times was also smitten: The crowd waived their arms and swayed in their seats. By 1 am, they squeezed between the tables to dance. At 3 am, ushers had to force them out the door.
The UnionN has become the party band choice for many of NYs most prestegious of party throwers. Sting, Martha Stewart, Michael Jordan, Ray Romano, Muhammad Ali, and Michael J. Fox, have all turned to this band when they needed top notch entertainment.
