About

The Switch is a Long Island based, high-energy cover band that has been pleasing audiences for over 20 years. The band’s first rule is so simple and has kept them going strong for all this time – Everyone Has Fun!! It doesn’t matter the type of venue or event, this band loves what they do and it shows on stage. Whether performing at a dance club, bar, restaurant, private party or corporate affair, this band covers every genre of music and nothing is off limits. They do it all!
The Switch is literally music for all occasions. No huge egos, silly gimmicks or 20-minute heavy metal guitar solos, although we could if you want it. The Switch just plays good time party music and has a great time doing it. We hope you’ll be part of the fun!
Having a smaller gathering and looking for a duo, trio, or solo performer? The Switch can provide that too! And be sure to check out our McSwitch page for any and all Irish gatherings!
Plus, we can do Theme Nights including 80s, Country and Yacht Rock.

Additional booking notes

We are fully insured, professional and easy to work with. We have a full sound system which we provide. We have a lighting system as well, which can be provided upon request. We do not use a stage.
