By Christa Jarvis


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.

Having played at renowned Jazz venues like Ryles in Boston, and Victoria Station in Salem, among others, the band often plays to a very diverse crowd. Whether straight, or LGBT, most of those who love live music have found a connection to at least some, if not all the different styles played by this unusually talented group of musicians.

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.

The band has a few YouTube videos in which individuals can get an idea of the sound and energy the provided by Soul 51. In watching the video, individuals can clearly see the talent when it comes to this great line-up of musicians and instruments. Most often providing music for weddings and special events, the band has a bit of a professional appearance compared to some others who only play gigs at bars and restaurants.

Currently, 51 Soul is branching out, offering gigs at local pubs and other venues. The musicians are honored to currently have a residency at Victoria Station through October 2014. After which, the sky is the limit when it comes to holiday gigs, parties and other events. If you enjoy solid jazz, funk, R&B, and rock and roll, this is a great group for private and public events.

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.

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.
