By Christa Jarvis


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
