Photo of LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE LoVeSeXy tribute 2 the music of PRINCE "This group is over the top good. I see a lot of tribute bands at the Riviera Theater in North Tonawanda and I believe this tribute band is amongst the BEST tribute bands out there. The female guitar player and sax player are great. I can’t wait to see them again, and that Prince/ Morris Day guy really has the moves. See them if you can, it will be a great time." Based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States (407 miles from Halifax) DocMoran Photo of Taproots Taproots "A soulful, high-energy fusion of world-class musicians creating a vibrant, inclusive community. An unmissable, immersive experience!" Based in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States (485 miles from Halifax) 12th March 2026 Academy Music Hall Photo of Le'Mixx Band Le'Mixx Band "Reviewed on: 12/28/2024 Le'Mixx is an eclectic bunch of talented musicians that exceeded our expectations. We didn't want a band that would perform the go-to tracks of the wedding circuit. We wanted a seasoned band to perform live music in genres ranging from Funk to R&B. Their band showcased tunes with woodwind & brass instruments and live vocals from their lead singer and all performers. The band informed us of all their necessities in advance and arrived early. The band also provided all the necessary equipment, like microphones and speakers. Our young and wise guests found themselves all on the dance floor from the energy Le'Mixx created." Based in Hamden, Connecticut, United States (521 miles from Halifax) Alexis P. - Wedding Photo of The Virtual Band nyc The Virtual Band nyc "The Virtual Band gave one of the most memorable concerts I have ever seen… There was no better proof of the universal appeal of this band than the packed and diverse house." Based in The Bronx, New York, United States (584 miles from Halifax) Sapphire Emerald Magazine - Concert Photo of The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue "⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Audience Review – The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue** *“The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue delivered an unforgettable night of timeless music and authentic performance. From the very first note, the energy, vocals, and stage presence transported the audience back to the golden era of Soul and R&B. Every song was performed with passion, professionalism, and a deep respect for the original sound that made these classics legendary.* *What sets The Baby Boomers apart is their authenticity—these are performers who truly understand and embody the music. The harmonies were smooth, the musicianship was exceptional, and the connection with the audience made the entire experience feel personal and memorable.* *Whether honoring the sounds of Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Gladys Knight & The Pips, The Temptations, Tavares, and other legends, The Baby Boomers Classic Soul Revue doesn’t just perform songs—they recreate an era. If you love real Soul music, rich vocals, and a show that keeps people singing and dancing, this is a must-see experience.”* **Rating: 10/10 — Authentic Soul. Timeless Entertainment. Unforgettable Experience.**" Based in New York, United States (595 miles from Halifax) 25th May 2026 Desmond Walker - Rhythim and Rhyme Productions Photo of NuPhamlee Soul Band NuPhamlee Soul Band "I love this band…they’re extremely funky, in the best way possible.

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for funk bands ranges from $280 to $5,000+, with an average of $1,600. The main factors are band size, set duration and the style of funk. Line-ups with horn sections, backing vocalists and percussion tend to cost more than smaller guitar-driven combos.

The funk bands for hire perform funk, soul, disco, R&B and groove-driven music. Many funk bands cover classic hits alongside modern songs, creating a setlist that is focused on tight rhythms, brass hooks and getting the audience dancing.

Hiring funk bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, festivals and any event where a packed dance floor is the goal. Funk music has a broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most effective genres for keeping guests on their feet.

The funk bands on Gig Heaven range from compact four-piece groups to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and percussion. A bigger line-up delivers a fuller, more powerful sound, while a smaller band can suit tighter venues and budgets. Many bands offer flexible line-up options.

Most funk bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming all technical requirements with the band before booking.

Not always. Four and five-piece groups often work without one, leaning on guitar, keys and a strong rhythm section, while the larger acts carry brass as the defining sound. Horns cost more and need more stage, so the question is usually budget and space rather than repertoire.

Volume is manageable in most function rooms, as bands set up smaller and play with lighter dynamics when the space calls for it. Rooms with a noise limiter are the real constraint, particularly for drums and brass, which cannot be turned down the way amplified instruments can. Give the limiter level when enquiring and the band will say whether the booking works.

Most carry a playlist to run through their PA during breaks so the room does not fall quiet. Some will also take a list of tracks to use in those gaps. Where the gap matters, such as during a meal, agree the break times when booking rather than on the night.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
