This 10+ member band offers the best in Soul, R&B, and Funk. With a deep and wide ranging song list, they succeed in customizing their show to meet the audience. The four part rhythm section lays down the groove to get people dancing. The four part horn section blasts out the tunes and moves to the grooves. Icing on the top is the four part vocal harmonies that speak to the PEOPLE!
