5/5 from 29 reviews
Photo of Yuval Agam Yuval Agam "We were in need of a Saxophone player to play along side of us (we're a DJ Company) for a wedding last weekend (09/26) and I came upon Yuval here on Gig Salad. Prior to booking he was responsive in communicating. The day of the event just so happened to be a Nor'Easter on the Jersey Shore but that didn't stop anyone. Yuval made it a point to arrive early and get situated with us. Once the event started, he was amazing. His talent on the Saxophone is unmatched and his energy during the event was equally as amazing. 10/10, I would highly recommend him!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts 10th October 2026 Charles C.W. - Wedding 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 DocMoran Photo of Massive Groove Band Massive Groove Band "We are so happy we hired Massive Groove Band for our wedding. They are awesome band fast replying to my texts and emails. The put together exactly what we had in mind! Loved the Jazz during cocktail and the energy dance music got everyone on the dance floor! They are the real deal!!!" Based in Boston, Massachusetts J. Peterson - Wedding Photo of Little Black Dress Little Black Dress "Excellent! Would consider again in the future.

Janet Bourget Awesome job to the band members!! Flávia D. Great time last nite with Boombox. Love you guys. See you soon!❤️" Based in Worcester, Massachusetts (39 miles from Boston) Laura M., Janet B., Flávia D. - Club Show 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 (116 miles from Boston) Alexis P. - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is $1,100, with prices from $190 to $4,000+. The main pricing factors are the number of musicians, performance duration and whether the band includes horn players and backing vocalists. Larger R&B line-ups with brass sections and multiple singers typically cost more than stripped-back combos.

The R&B bands perform rhythm and blues, neo-soul, contemporary R&B and classic soul music. Many bands cover hits from artists spanning several decades, from Motown through to modern R&B, creating a smooth and groovy setlist.

Many clients book R&B bands for weddings, corporate parties, birthday celebrations, gala dinners and private functions. R&B music creates a sophisticated yet soulful atmosphere that works for both relaxed dining and energetic dancing.

The R&B bands on Gig Heaven range from small three or four-piece groups to larger ensembles with backing singers and horn sections. A bigger line-up delivers a richer, fuller sound. Many bands offer flexible sizing to suit different events and budgets.

Most R&B bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be required. Gig Heaven recommends confirming technical requirements with the band before booking.
