South Jersey's Premier Dance Band
99 Reasons: The Official Band of Birthdays!
Our story
Since 2015, the South-Jersey based band has showcased its unique style of music while demonstrating a strong interest in community work. The six-member band met through mutual acquaintances and perfect timing brought everyone together.
A quintessential party band, the goal of 99 Reasons is to get the crowd moving – singing and dancing – to its sounds. The members of the group were influenced by the artists of their youth, 1980’s classic rock and pop, 90’s dance music, and country. Something for everyone!
99 Reasons prides itself on its having both a male and female vocalist, giving the group a wide selection of song choices.
“Having Miki and AJ in the band allows us to play songs that other bands can’t even think about attempting, not just because they are both outstanding singers individually, but their ability to harmonize with each other and also 'work the crowd' is incredible,” said drummer Rich Bradley. “There are times I'm onstage and I'm all basically all alone, since the rest of the band is out on the dance floor, having a great time."
99 Reasons enjoys playing at a variety of different gigs, from local bars to large outdoor festivals, providing the soundtrack for a fun night out and playing songs that can’t make you resist singing and dancing. However, their favorite type of event is fundraisers. The band is extremely active in promoting awareness for Alzheimer’s, raising thousands of dollars through events. Bradley’s involvement started when his mother was battling the disease. The first “Atco vs. Alzheimer’s” was born in 2014, and the event has grown every year. Since then, the band has raised over $125,000 through its annual fundraisers.
“I like to use my voice and sing in support of fighting Alzheimer’s disease, in hopes of spreading awareness and to help raise funds for research,” said vocalist Miki Gioia.
99 Reasons was recognized for their volunteer work by the Alzheimer’s Association and were honored by being asked to play at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Atlantic City. This was one of the biggest highlights in the band’s history and it hopes to make even more of an impact in upcoming years.
No matter the size of the event, the band keeps the beat moving at your party or event with its unforgettable sound.

Check out what the parents of the bride at a recent wedding said about 99 Reasons:
"You and your band were great. You made what started as a stressful night for me so nice.
The keyboard player, how you interacted with the guest and table games (napkins) and the entire band. I thought it was thoughtful how your band came dressed, and the vocalists were fantastic.
If you every need a reference please ask.”
