Family Affair

In 1970 several family members and friends formed The Family Affair Band. The group began performing at events in greater Boston and quickly became one of the most popular dance bands in New England. Appearing at private functions, colleges, corporate events, and clubs, the band would make over 3000 appearances over the next 33 years.

This web page was created to preserve some of the band’s performances that spanned four decades.

A majority of the music was recorded at live performances, so it is advised that you listen with ear buds or headphones to achieve the best fidelity.
