Big Night Out is a 7 piece tropical style dance band that blends Latin and Caribbean with R&B and Motown. An explosive horn section and a pulsing conga add to the bouncing rhythm section and passionate bilingual vocals of Joni Adno. Big Night Out has quickly become one of southwest Florida's most exciting new dance bands on the scene. Big Night Out was voted "Best Bilingual Cover Band" by the Weekly Planet.

The band's line up includes many of Sarasota and Tampa's finest musicians. We have an excellent sound system and DJ CD's to play in between sets to keep the party upbeat and fun.

• Very nice, very accomodating, great music - just what we wanted! -- Debbi B, Sarasota, FL, 3/22/2007
• Big Night Out had everyone out of their chairs and dancing. They learned several new songs at our request and played them all beautifully. They were dressed very festive and did a great job at reading the audience mood and catering to them. Everyone was asking me where we found the band and just had a blast. Several said it was the best wedding they'd ever been too and THAT is due to Big Night Out's great talent! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a lively, fun party with a latin flare. THANK YOU! -- Amy H, Saint Petersburg, FL, 2/17/2007
• High energy band that went out of their way to accommodate special requests. They were appreciated by all age groups at our wedding. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants a first class performance for their special event. -- Dean H, Bonita Springs, FL, 11/29/2008
