Reviews of Motown Bands available in Besançon

5/5 from 381 reviews
Photo of Skyline Club Band Skyline Club Band "Very cool guys and great voices. We can recommend them without exception!" Translated from German Based in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany (232 miles from Besançon) 30th August 2026 GGEW - 140 Jahrfeier Sommerfest GGEW Photo of Call me Winston - The Tarantino tribute Call me Winston - The Tarantino tribute "The effectiveness of music in Quentin Tarantino's five films has much to do with the way he perceives music. Tarantino thinks that songs in general function as miniature films. He views music as a way to extend the plots of his films. The soundtrack has the responsibility not only of setting the tone of the scene, but also of bringing clarity to emotions that are not fully expressed by the characters. All of this works seamlessly because Tarantino hears the song first, then writes a scene around it. It is therefore not surprising that music has such a remarkable impact in his films. How does music affect the way we perceive Tarantino's films? It is true that all music will make the viewer react emotionally, but what matters to Tarantino is that, most of the time, music produces what he perceives as the "appropriate" emotional impact on a scene. For example, if something other than "Stuck in the Middle With You" had been chosen to accompany the "ear cutting" scene in Reservoir Dogs, the audience might never have known about Mr Blonde's sadistic tendencies. The key to Tarantino's success in avoiding music perceived as just "adequate" is that he writes all his film scripts with specific music in mind. By being determined in his selection, Tarantino ensures that the music of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol.1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 plays an active role in the narrative structure of the film and, equally important, that it does something the audience will want to remember. These are the memories that the members of Call me Winston wish to bring back to the viewer. This "tribute band" orchestra newly created on the Côte d'Azur is unique in the South Region. With its 10 members, (singer, female singer, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, keyboards trumpet, alto saxophone, baritone saxophone), it will remind you of the best moments from Tarantino films through their soundtrack." Translated from French Based in Monte Carlo, Commune de Monaco, Monaco (252 miles from Besançon) Chris Anderson Photo of Blackjack V Blackjack V "Blackjack V played a great set at our wedding. Lewis included a cocktail hour, and stayed after the set to play a playlist through his soundsystem. All of that was additional and a really nice touch. The band sound great and play an awesome mix of tunes. We'd highly recommend booking Blackjack V to anyone seeking a band in France." Based in Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (272 miles from Besançon) Andy & Tasha - Private wedding Photo of Shaal Sax Shaal Sax "Alex of Shaal Sax was an absolute delight to work with and have play at our wedding. We’d highly recommend! My husband and I booked Alex for our wedding just about 10 days before the big day and Alex was great at communicating, offering creative ideas, and adapting without much notice. He was quick to respond, and extremely kind both via the internet and in-person. He showed up hours in advance to make sure technology worked smoothly alongside our DJ, and he bravely played in front of our crowd of ~165 French and American guests moving between dinner tables during dessert and then around the dance floor alongside our DJ for several songs. Having him in the center of the dancing was a huge crowd pleaser. He brought the energy up from about 7/10 to 11/10! ;) everyone loved it so much and he will truly remain such a highlight of our wedding day! Awesome experience hiring Shaal Sax!" Based in La Rochelle, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (348 miles from Besançon) 25th June 2026 Marinna Martens - Wedding Photo of Nina Hewlett Nina Hewlett "'We really enjoyed listening to Nina. She really engaged with the audience & sang a great selection of songs from 50s, 60s & 70s. Our residents all left smiling & saying how much they enjoyed it. Would highly recommend! We hope to see Nina again soon!'

I would thoroughly recommend them. I love how they cover all genres and were able to cater for a mix of ages. They are such lovely people and lots of fun!

The biggest pricing factor is the number of musicians, as Motown bands range from small combos to large ensembles with horn sections and backing vocalists. Performance duration and the band's experience also influence the rate.

The Motown bands perform classic Motown, soul, funk and R&B hits from the 1960s and 1970s, covering artists such as Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross. Many bands also include modern soul and funk tracks to create a well-rounded setlist.
