The JB's are a club/G.B. (general business) band based in the Boston area. They have performed an average of 200 gigs a year for the last six years, with about 60 of these being weddings or corporate events. The band specializes in bridging the gap between the traditional wedding band and the crazy, high-energy club band. The JB’s strength is that they have a working repertoire of over 1000 songs, from Cole Porter and Louis Armstrong to AC/DC and Kool and the Gang. They make it a point to have fun wherever they play, and the audience picks up on that energy. If you don't want to feel like you're "dancing in your dentist's office", make sure you come see the band live before choosing the entertainment for your event. When the Johnson Brothers play weddings/corporate events, they take their crazed, do-anything- to- win- an- audience attitude and temper it with a healthy dose of appropriate professionalism. The Johnson Brothers react to each crowd they play for, sensing what they want to hear and keeping it coming for as long as possible. Whether it's a subdued, buttoned-down affair or a drunken orgy, the Johnson Brothers adapt to their surroundings, not the other way around. It's typical for them to play 1-1/2 to 2 hours straight without a pause, much like a D.J. would. Anyone who's seen the band will attest: when the dance floor is full, the Johnson Brothers don't even stop between songs, let alone take a break. They do this by calling the next song before the current one ends, and seamlessly segueing between them. This turn-on-a-dime responsiveness to the crowd is what sets the Johnson Brothers apart from virtually every other band out there. It's no coincidence that our initials are the JB's because we are the hardest working band in New England!
