What to Expect

To hire The Nightbird Band is to transport you and your guests back in time into the Jazz Age where the gals wore furs, pearls and fabulous hats and the men bow ties and suspenders. We will bring your ears and minds into another century, and inspire your feet to tap and shoulders to shimmy!

We are a professional, Toronto-based Jazz band that plays the music of the 1920's-40's. If hired for an event, the band will typically arrive one hour before our play time to set up our equipment and perform a sound check in the room we will be performing in. We are available for hire for 1-3 hours of live music. Each set is typically 45 minutes in length, and we will take breaks of 15-20 minutes between sets.

Based in Toronto, this band brings some class into every venue they step into. Their warm sound is deeply nostalgic, redefining the romance of the golden age of Jazz. Contact Kalya Ramu for more information and to book either the full Nightbird band or smaller groups (Jazz Quartet, Trio, or Duo) for your wedding, holiday party or other special event!
