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.

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.

Being open to playing different types of ceremonies and weddings, the group has a bright future. Although, while there is a standard list of covers, those desiring specific music for an event may want to talk to the players well in advance. If given enough time, the musicians are generally more than willing to learn 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.

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.

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.

It is often advised that those looking to book this amazing group of musicians book the date, time and location in advance. Otherwise, it can often be difficult to assure accommodating a specific date, time and location. Still, the musicians will do whatever possible to accommodate as many requests as possible, or work to find an alternative date, or other entertainment when and where possible.

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.
