Why should I hire you???

Because The Bobby Darling Show is one of the Northeast's most entertaining, experienced, and hottest dance/show bands around! We've brought our unique blend of high energy music and entertainment to every type of venue, from the most elegant black-tie weddings to corporate parties, nightclubs, schools, bus tours and charity events. Specializing in weddings and corporate events, we offer a wide selection of material proven to please guests of all ages and musical tastes.

Where have you played???

For over fifteen years, we've entertained groups ranging from intimate private gatherings of 40 to large music festivals throughout New England and the Northeast - from Killington, Newport and Nantucket to Manhattan, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

What makes you different???

Bobby Darling, a hilarious front man with a knack for involving the audience. He'll have everyone engaged with his spontaneous wit, lively vocals & rockin' guitar.

Dr. Divine, world class violinist. He also plays guitar, flute, piano, mandolin and saxophone. Vocals, too.

Rev. Joe Nerney, phenomenal sax player, soulful vocals, and master keyboard player.

Sizzling vocalist Miss Helen Arbour sings everything from Ella to Aretha with style and panache.

Professor Jubilee, our funkmaster on bass and vocals (from Dave Mathews to Frank Sinatra)

National recording artist, Billy (the Clock) on drums will have you instantly out of your seat and onto the dance floor.

We have a wildly diverse repertoire, ranging from Queen's epic Bohemian Rhapsody (as a polka !), to the virtuoso fiddle classic Orange Blossom Special, as well as classic rock, jazz standards, and, when requested, hilarious musical comedy numbers. The Bobby Darling Show is sure to please every audience.

We are professional. We always show up.

Classical violin for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hours are also available upon request.
