I walked into the back room at CJ’s Landing about halfway through NanyaNa’s second song “Something” and immediately began regretting my tardiness. A powerhouse of melody and groove hit me, and at once I realized this is a band you go see if you want to dance. Their stage presence was completely over the top. From the antics of Jean-Claude (bassist) to Todd Damian (drummer) bouncing on his throne to NanyaNa’s sultry dance moves, the band held my attention hostage for the entire evening.
 

This band has molded a blend of jazz, funk, and rock with a style and fluidity that is seldom seen in an un-signed act. I highly recommend checking out one of their shows. For more info on the band, visit www.nanyana.com.
