Photo of Prince Tribute Prince Tribute "Prince is my favorite artist of all time. This was a amazing tribute. Thanks for doing Prince's music justice." Based in Phoenix, Arizona Margie Rosales Photo of Brittani Jay live Brittani Jay live "We held a large, corporate party for 600 guests at Lucky Strike in Phoenix. Brittani Jay live band was awesome, entertaining and professional! I found the band through Gigmasters, and I really like the samples there and that they had positive reviews on that site. From booking to the actual event, everything was very easy and efficient. They took note of what our musical requests were from a pre-event meeting and were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and hire them again for sure!" Based in Mesa, Arizona (15 miles from Phoenix) Vince Quinn - NAACP leaders Photo of Audley Reid Saxophonist Audley Reid Saxophonist "Audley played sax at our drinks reception and honestly, he was such a great choice. Just him and his sax, and the whole room felt warmer the second he started. Guests kept wandering over to listen, and a few came up to ask us who he was. He was super easy to work with too, showed up on time and just got on with it. We’d book him again in a heartbeat."

Every song! Every genre! Everything style! The singer made us feel like her friend, and sang every we her to sing! Excellent job to the band!!!" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (256 miles from Phoenix) Troy Stairwalt - Corporate Event Photo of Doug Earley Saxophonist Doug Earley Saxophonist "He was playing at the local farmers market. Really nice." Based in Covina, California (337 miles from Phoenix) Scott - Farmers market- South Irvine Photo of Private Affair Band Private Affair Band "Have you ever wondered what makes a great party? We learned quickly that it is Private Affairs. We hired this band for an upscale 70th Birthday Party, and without them, this event would have been just another party. The theme was the 70s, and not only did all the band members embrace it by dressing in 70s garb, but they also embraced the spirit of the party and created the most fun and engaging atmosphere. They are consummate professionals and wonderful human beings. Their interaction with the party-goers helped make this event fun and memorable for everyone. All evening long, our guests came up to us and said things like, "What a band", and "Who are these great musicians"? If you want to elevate your event and are looking for FUN, do not hesitate to engage Private Affairs." Based in Los Angeles, California (357 miles from Phoenix) 8th September 2026 Barb K - 70th Birthday Party

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring R&B bands is $1,100, with prices from $200 to $4,500+. 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.
