When it comes to finding music for a wedding or other special events, individuals often have a variety of options. One being to use recorded material, another being to book live music. The 51 Soul Boston Music Dance Band plays jazz, R&B, Motown, Soul and Funk for a number of events. While the band is located in Boston, the group has played gigs all over New England.

In addition to playing weddings and special events, the group also now plays at local clubs and venues in the area. Most recently having obtained a month long residence in Salem, MA at Victoria Station and having performed at the renowned Ryles jazz club in Boston on more than one occasion. The group is also open to playing to a diverse audience including those in the LGBT communities.

While the group hosts a massive database of songs which are currently covered at different events, the band is willing learn new music given enough time. In some cases, the group will also attempt covers of new music on the spot. Still, when desiring to hire the group to perform at a wedding or other special event, it is often good to make requests for specific music well in advance of the ceremony.

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.

A variety of different live cuts and videos can be found on YouTube and the 51 Soul homepage. The YouTube cuts are a great example of the type of energy found in live performances.After which, interested individuals can contact the booking manager to make arrangements to book Soul 51 for weddings and other event.

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.

When desiring to hire the group for a specific date, time and location, it is often best to do so well in advance. To do so, email the booking manager on the website regarding availability and price. All in all, Soul 51 has a great reputation for playing amazing music at weddings and other events. Still, each individual, couple or music manager must decide which style works best for various events and venues.

Soul 51 appreciates all fans, especially those whom can understand pre-bookings. The group will do everything possible to book requested dates. Although, there can be times when the band has already been booked to play a specific date, time and location. As such, while the group often does multiple gigs, this may or may not be possible depending on location and distance. Still, whether individuals can book a different date, or has to select an alternative form of entertainment, the band understands and hopes fans will also.
