In June 1991 four members of the Entertainers said goodbye to the band and hello to DINK PERRY, lead vocalist of The Breeze Band to form what is now THE BREEZE. This 7 piece high powered musical/performance band has captured rave reviews with their energy and absolute versatility.

With 6 lead vocalist, a great rhythm and horn section, this band entertains you with the best in Top 40, Beach, and Show! The versatility of the band has landed them the opportunity to perform as the opening band for concerts with Delbert McClinton (Charlotte, NC), NASCAR opening ceremonies (Daytona Beach, Fla.), and Lou Rawls (Greenville, NC) (Wilmington, NC), Jerry Butler (2000 Cammy Awards) as well as concerts, dance clubs, corporate and private parties all over the east coast! They have had Tommy Shaw (Styx), Brent Carter (Tower of Power), John Michael Montgomery (National Country Singer), along with others come up and sit in with the band and sing. Those guys don’t come up and sing with just any band!

The BREEZE is one of the Southeast’s most recognized bands. Their material and willingness to please audiences everywhere they go is their biggest asset! This self-contained powerhouse utilizes state-of-the-art sound and lights at all venues.

The BREEZE has the some of the best vocals of any band they’ve seen says club owners and fans up and down the east coast. Them going out into crowds and singing their acappella renditions of Huey Lewis’s (It’s Alright), People Get Ready (Breeze CD Something Serious) and So Fine has everyone talking!

The BREEZE has taken their strong writing and arranging talents and turned them into the first new BREEZE CD….SOMETHING SERIOUS 1995. In 1996 they came out with their second CD….SECOND WIND, which won the number one Beach song and Broadcast song of the year at the 96 Cammy Awards. They finished their third CD…..BY REQUEST in June of 1999, and did a Christmas CD in Nov. of 1999.
