Based in Lady Lake, Florida (99 miles from Jacksonville) Dimitri S. - Private Event Photo of Big Mike and The Booty Papas Big Mike and The Booty Papas "We've hired Mike twice in the last couple of years and will again. He's great to work with. Always professional very friendly and crowd-pleasing. Most importantly, he's a top-notch musician and vocalist and so are his players.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is $1,050, 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.
