A welcome from the band
“Hey, this is Nardo from Nice Smooth Music Group. I’d like to welcome you to our page. Take your time. Enjoy.”
Nardo · Lead mic, owner & founder
Sound will not start on its own until you tap, so press play above. It is sixteen seconds, straight from the band — then take a look around and tell us when you need live music.
Live in the DMVA recent night out — vocalists up front, horns and drums behind them.

The people behind the sound
Vocalists up front, the horn section behind them, the rhythm section, and the team that keeps the band booked.
Who we are
A DMV band built to move a room
Nice & Smooth Music Group is a live band out of the Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia area. We play the songs people came out to hear, we play our own R&B, and we keep the Go Go in the set because that is home.
One band covers the whole night: a vocal-led first set for the dinner crowd, then the dance floor sets that turn a room into a party. Every show is built for the people in front of us.
Horns up front, percussion underneath — that is the Nice & Smooth sound.

See us live
Vocalists up front, guitar, horns and percussion behind them, and the whole room in it. Tap play and this is exactly what a Nice & Smooth night looks like.

From the floor
Three clips from recent nights out. It is the same set we bring to a club, a party or a festival, and we keep adding to it.
More footage from shows and the studio gets added here as we get it cut. Want clips before then? Text the band and we will send them straight over.

The sound
Three things we do, and we do them loud

02Written by the band
Original R&B
Our own R&B — real vocals, live keys and a rhythm section that sits back in the pocket. We are in the studio with new material now.
03The DC sound, live
Go Go
Go Go is Washington music and it belongs on the set list. Percussion forward, call and response, and a pocket that does not stop once it starts.
