The synergistic composition of The Next Step is comprised of seasoned veterans from the hard core music industry, binding together 30 years of dedicated experience in weddings, corporate events and club entertainment.  These very talented musicians have been working together for many years. The year 2009 brings about new and exciting changes as this group has come together to collaborate on one of the most respected acts of the Tri-State area.

"We put a new spin on live music, as we combine the new and old" says Joe Blanco, the band's lead guitarist/vocalist. "There is something up our sleeve in regards to the architecture of this band. Many fine projects have come and gone, for lack of vision and imagination. The infusion of our plan is something to behold!"

The Next Step has a repertoire to bring entertainment and evenings of dancing to any affair. From the most memorable corporate parties to weddings and other affairs, private entertainment or clubs, we will cater to your musical taste and satisfy any personal wish.

 "Entertainment is not just an art form. Being able to play your instrument is not enough. You need to know how to read your crowd, and bring them to the dance floor. That experience comes from practicing what we preach. This takes time and special skills!" Comments Roger Frata, bass player/vocalist.  Both he and Keyboardist Gianluca Trombetta, also have over 20 years of DJ experience between the two of them, which can be put to use at your events.

"It was live musicians that started it all.  What everyone else spins was recorded by people like us!  I have respect for both, but there is a world of difference between a musician and a DJ." says Gianluca.
