Reviews of Motown Bands available in Charleston

5/5 from 292 reviews
Photo of Andrew Thielen Big Band Andrew Thielen Big Band "WE were so glad we found Andrew Thielen Big Band. They are a real band that has been together for over twenty years perfecting their music, showmanship and dazzling variety of music that kept our dance floor jammed. WE almost got swayed into one of these chain bands called Empire something where they throw together bands for one night until we figured out you cannot be a 3 piece band one week and a 12 piece band the next. WE wanted a real band where the band leader has had repeat performances for the most discriminating buyers for years. Every age, everyones taste in music and our twenty something wedding party had the time of our life. Call them now for sensational singers, instrumentalists and organization." Based in Charleston, South Carolina Aaron Hines - wedding reception Photo of D Myers Band D Myers Band "Amazing Band! Their sound, both vocal and instrumental is amazing! I love hearing them!" Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (87 miles from Charleston) Tarsha Photo of The Funkmaster & The Posse Band The Funkmaster & The Posse Band "I hired this band for a private event and they were way above my expectations. I will most definitely hire them again. They are very well dressed and professional and delivered the show with my guests being very involved and dancing the night away. This band is definitely a must see."

He is a real student of all traditional music styles-blues, rock, country, funk, soul, R&B. Check him out and you’ll see!"
