In this day and age, music and musical genres have expanded greatly. The 51 Soul Boston Music Dance Band plays Jazz, Soul, Funk, R&B and Mowtown is just one example of this reality. The band, being one of the most varied bands in the New England area is quickly becoming quite popular. While New England is not always known for live music venues, this band is changing the scene. While most often playing weddings and other special events, the group also has gigs in Salem, MA and other areas in and around New England on a regular basis.
The group not only plays weddings and special events but has also played renowned jazz clubs like Ryles in Boston and others. Most recently having a month long residency at a club in Salem, MA, the band is currently branching out into playing more gigs at venues in and around the New England area. Still, when planning a special event, it is a good group to consider as these are musicians who are quite varied in substance and style.
While there is a long list of standard songs played at most gigs, the band also claims to be able to learn new songs upon request. When requesting songs outside the basic list for weddings, it is advised individuals do so well in advance to give the band the best opportunity to learn the new music.
If looking for songs by well known musicians, a long list is available on the band's website. Some of the most well known musicians covered are Stevie Wonder, D'Angelo, Erykah Badu and others. Regardless as to whether the band plays songs already in the extensive database, or learns new music, chances are those requesting the group will not be disappointed.
Soul 51 has a few examples of the type of energy and sound provided at weddings and special events. While the videos are few and far between, each gives a great example. As such, those looking to hire the group for special events may want to view these videos in advance to gain a better idea of the band's presence and style.
While having often played only weddings and special events in the past, these musicians are now branching out. One can only hope that this includes studio time and a CD in the future. Although, as most songs are covers of other bands at this point, that might be awhile. Still, the talent is worthy of any success coming down the line, whether through live performances, or a CD that is yet to come.
As the group can often become quite busy, it is often advised that those looking to book a gig do so well in advance. Otherwise, it can often be difficult to request specific dates and times which are often essential when booking bands for weddings and the like. Regardless, the band always tries to accommodate as many request as possible without revision.
51 Soul also appreciates fans who can understand having to make minor revisions due to previously booked schedules. There are often two choices when desired entertainment is not available for an event. One, change the date of the event. The other, find alternative entertainment. While 51 Soul would love to play as many events as possible, the group also understands when and where schedules just cannot or do not align.
