Your live singer in New Jersey

Oak Tree Road in Edison and Iselin is a mile-long stretch of Indian shops, restaurants and sari boutiques, and the surrounding towns hold some of the biggest temples and gurdwaras in the country. The Indian population of Middlesex County is among the highest in the United States, and the community supports a rich calendar of events.

Banquet halls throughout the state host weddings and receptions for hundreds of guests, with a heavy Gujarati presence reflected in garba and dandiya at Navratri. Schools and community halls are rented by associations for the festival, and professional garba organisers run multi-night events.

The band works with an organiser who handles the venue, the permits and the immigration paperwork, and plans the programme for guests who range from grandparents to American-born teenagers.

The year in New Jersey

September and October are the busiest months, with multi-night Navratri events and Diwali. Weddings peak in late spring and summer, and the winters are cold and snowy.

A set list for a New Jersey Navratri

Nights run late into the evening: the aarti, then Gujarati folk including Odhani Odhu Odhu, Chogada and Dholida, a break for food, and a faster second half with Bollywood garba. American-born youth enjoy a remix round at the end.

Venues and practicalities in New Jersey

Edison, Iselin, Parsippany and Jersey City hold banquet halls and catering venues that host Indian weddings every weekend, with large parking lots and experienced staff. Navratri events rent school gyms, expo centres and halls across Middlesex and Morris counties.

Halls supply sound and lighting for the reception, and the band confirms what is included. Garba events run late, so the band checks the hall’s closing time and any township noise rules. Most guests drive, and the programme allows for late arrivals in the first hour.
