New York City Swing/Mari Ent NY

Mari Entertainment NY (formerly New York City Swing) is a Queens-based wedding and corporate band led by owner and CEO Rosalind "Roz" Brown, performing across New York City and beyond. The band covers a wide range of genres including classic soul, jazz, pop, R&B, funk, rock, and Top 40 hits; they also offer ceremony and cocktail music, a classic jazz trio option, strings or Caribbean units, lighting, and MC services. Founded originally as New York City Swing by the late Dore DeQuattro, the band has performed at Fortune 500 company parties, Heisman Trophy Award Dinners annually since 2002, and for notable clients including Oprah Winfrey, Michael Eisner, Ted Turner, and presidential inaugural events for George Bush and Bill Clinton; musicians have collectively worked with artists including Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Bon Jovi, and Patti LaBelle, as well as numerous Broadway shows. Based in New York City, the band travels for events, including destinations such as Charleston. Couples consistently report packed dance floors all night, note that the band reads the room and adjusts to keep momentum going, praise Roz by name as a joy to work with, and highlight the band's willingness to learn and perform unusual requests such as "Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac and custom mash-ups.
