Robert McClenon (talk) 00:52, 4 April 2019 (UTC)}} Latitude28 BandLatitude28 is an entertainment cover band founded by Avinash Singh in 2018 in Lake Nona, Florida. The band covers popular songs that cross genres from pop, rock, hip hop, R&B, and funk to Top 40s, dance, alternative, reggae, country, and tropical. The band typically consists of four or five musicians and three to four vocalists—the composition is dynamic—with Singh at the helm as music director and keyboard player. The band’s performances are noted for being energetic, interactive events with synced video and special effects. HistoryLatitude28 Band was formed by Avinash Singh with his wife, Anisa, as founding vocalist in 2018. Adopting an open and inclusive growth model, the early band saw several members come and go before settling into its 2019 line-up that includes a drummer, percussionist, bassist, keyboard player, and vocalists. The band’s first public show was at Orlando’s iconic House of Blues. Subsequent performances included the 18th Annual DeLand Original Music Festival (backing Anisa), Rein Dog Run, a showcase at the national conference of the Association for the Promotion of Campus Activities and shows at Boxi Park Lake Nona. The year 2019 has been busy for the band as Singh has built the team, expanded its song repertoire, and aggressively pursued opportunities to increase the group’s recognition. Promotion of Latitude28 has occurred through exposure on major TV channels (CNBC, CNN, HLN, Oprah Winfrey Network, Weather Channel, Science Channel, Hallmark Channel, Central Florida News13, SUN Sports, Lifetime, Oxygen, DIY Network, Game Show Network, American Heroes Channel, and TV Land), billboards near event locales, and robust campaigns on all social platforms.

Musical InfluencesIn his early childhood, Singh experienced full immersion in the musical styles of the Caribbean, as his father was a professional singer in the country of Guyana. As a young adult in New York, Singh began producing music for popular recording artists, enjoying success (but little credit) in that arena. The byproduct of these projects was an intimate working knowledge of and appreciation for diverse musical genres. When he took over his father’s band and rebranded it as The Supertones Band, Singh launched what became a 22-year run of heavy involvement in the international Chutney Soca music scene. Singh brings the musical influences of this rich composite of experiences to Latitude28 Band. Other musical influences are apparent in the band’s playlists since Singh encourages vocalists to select their own songs within the parameters of the entertainment-band model. Any given show’s setlist contains songs by a variety of artists in a variety of styles and genres. The uniting factor is that all songs are crowd-friendly, engaging, and enjoy widespread appeal. FutureThe band currently has contracted shows scheduled for 2019 in Florida, the Netherlands, and Spain, and for 2020 in Brazil.
