The Janitors are more than just a band — they are a show!
Fueled by front man Danny Morgan's soulful singing and enthusiastic footwork, Dave Kirkman's funky drums, Chuck Lewis (formerly with The United States Continental Army Band) on solid bass lines and vocals, Ricky Smith on keyboards (formerly with Sumpthin' Special Band and Broadway's Jennifer Holliday), and Dale Leftwich's tasteful guitar work and vocals, they emit an energy level and sonic fullness that rivals larger bands.
Simply put, they demand an audience's attention. Their tight blend of Rhythm & Blues, 60's Soul, 70's Funk, Country, Classic Rock, and current Top 40 Dance keeps people of all ages dancing from the first note 'til the last.
Rated by local brides as one of the region's premier wedding and reception bands.
Over Three Decades of East Coast Shows
The Janitors originally formed in the fall of 1982. Then based at Virginia Tech, they played clubs and special events throughout Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina until October 1985, quickly becoming sought out for larger and larger shows. Re-formed in 1988 and now based in Virginia Beach, the group has expanded its region across the entire East Coast.
The Janitors have shared the stage with The Guess Who, Chubby Checker, John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band, Chairmen of the Board, NRBQ, Bonnie Raitt, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, George Thorogood, Matt "Guitar" Murphy, Nantucket, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Delbert McClinton, and many more.
With their self-titled debut release (9 original songs and 2 cover tunes) recorded at Daily Planet Studios with Mixmaster Stacy Heyden, mastered by Jonathan Wyner, with horns and keys by Jeff Snyder and organist Charles Stanley of Apollo Theater fame, an expanded song list, and Danny Morgan out front, this group guarantees a good time for all.
