The group, which is also a production company, has music that spans ages.

The group New York Minute ended New Castle's summer concert series with groove and funk, as people in the audience danced along last night.

The concert series' fourth and final act, New York Minute is a group whose music spans generations and genres, including 1920s work, jazz, 1970s music and R&B.

“We’re very eclectic," said Nicole Mustac, who is a singer for the group. Members typically range from 7 to 21, depending on the performance, according to Bill Ciaramelli, who owns and runs it.
