Photo of Johnny White and The Elite Band Johnny White and The Elite Band "Johnny White and the Elite Band is amazing! They played at my Retirement Legacy Ball celebrating my 35 years of service in Theatre Education. The variety of songs and energy made the evening spectacular! Bravo! You can never go wrong with Johnny White and the Elite Band". ----Wendell Tabb, Retired Educator" Based in Durham, North Carolina (121 miles from Charlotte) Wendell Tabb - Retirement Ball 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 (154 miles from Charlotte) 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." Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (154 miles from Charlotte) Mary L - Private Party 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 (177 miles from Charlotte) Aaron Hines - wedding reception Photo of Seminole Jackson bands Seminole Jackson bands "Many professional musicians through the years I have called Seminole Jackson, “the real deal”… church musicians have always called him ‘doctor” or “professor”. He is a real student of all traditional music styles-blues, rock, country, funk, soul, R&B. Check him out and you’ll see!"
