Premiere dance/party band to tour with Armed Forces Entertainment
 
Washington, D.C.-based dance/party band, Jenny Boyle and the Drivers, will ring in the New Year for troops stationed in Europe and the Mediterranean December 26 - January 13. The high-energy group brings a cover song repertoire that ranges from classic R&B greats such as James Brown and Aretha Franklin to the contemporary sound of artists like Rhianna and Kelly Clarkson. 
Jenny Boyle and the Drivers are passionate about showing their support for members of the United States military and their families.  "Touring is our way of saying 'thank you for all that you do' to our brave American heroes and their families who sacrifice so very much to protect our freedoms," said Boyle.  "Our troops deserve the gratitude, appreciation and support of all Americans.  Our greatest reward for performing for our servicemen and women is seeing the smiles on those weary faces."
Boyle’s band has been together for almost 10 years and is considered one of Armed Forces Entertainment’s touring veterans. In addition to being an entertainer, Boyle is a registered nurse. She combined her two passions of healing and music by performing for wounded troops at the Walter Reed Army Hospital, which she considers to be one of her greatest achievements.
“Jenny Boyle and the Drivers will put on a phenomenal New Year's dance party for our troops in Europe,” said Marine Corps Captain Jesse Davidson, Armed Forces Entertainment circuit manager for Europe and the Mediterranean. “You can be sure that this band's audiences will be getting a groove on to the sound of favorite dance songs, old and new."
