They are consummate professionals, personable, engaging and perform with the clients requests in the forefront. We Rize Up is THE go-to band!! Put them onto your event now!!" Based in Rocky Mount, North Carolina Olive - Painting by Voice Music 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 Wendell Tabb - Retirement Ball 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 Mary L - Private Party Photo of ATOM - A Touch of Maze ATOM - A Touch of Maze "Saw y'all in Philadelphia. That was an awesome experience!! Thank you so much for this show. My dad knew Frankie Beverly and the band but didn't stay in contact with him much after he moved to California. My dad didn't come to this show because he was really upset by Mr Beverly's passing. I brought a friend with me instead. Getting hear Frankie Beverly's music performed live (as someone that wasn't around yet to get that experience back in the day) whewwww was I blown away!!! Everyone did a incredible job and captured the essence of Maze so well-- I watched a couple concert videos on YouTube of them in the 80s. I never couldve comprehended why the love in that room at WCL was so thick from just the concert recordings. What the videos couldn't capture the Performers at this tribute concert went absolutely beyonnnndddd. Every single member was 🔟 /🔟 and you had two TRUE master percussionists on that stage. Tarsha Fitzgerald curated a truly phenomenal experience. 🔥 🔥 Thank you, ATOM 🔥 🔥 🥇" Based in Hyattsville, Maryland Ninqi Stratton Photo of The Chemistry Band The Chemistry Band "I’ve seen a lot of live bands, and this one is something special. Chemistry's talent is undeniable, but what really stands out is the way they connect with the audience. From the moment they take the stage, they create an intimate vibe that makes every performance feel personal. Their blend of Neo-Soul and R&B is smooth, soulful, and full of energy. The musicianship is exceptional, the musical synergy is effortless, and their showmanship keeps you engaged from beginning to end. They don't just play great music—they create an experience that leaves you smiling, singing along, and wishing the night wasn't over. If you have the chance to see them live, don't miss it. They never disappoint, and they always deliver more than you expect." Based in Gainesville, Virginia 16th July 2026 Cheryl Harrison Photo of Brandon Robertson Sax Brandon Robertson Sax "Professional, supportive, and can throw down on that sax!"

Frequently asked questions

Hiring soul bands typically costs between $220 and $4,050+, with an average of $1,200. The price depends on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the line-up includes a horn section and backing vocalists. Larger soul ensembles with brass and multiple singers typically cost more than smaller combos.

The soul bands for hire perform classic and contemporary soul music, often blending Motown, funk, R&B and disco into their sets. Many soul bands cover well-known hits from artists spanning several decades, creating a feel-good, dance-friendly setlist.

Hiring soul bands is a popular choice for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, gala dinners and private celebrations. Soul music has broad, cross-generational appeal and is one of the most reliable genres for filling a dance floor.

The soul bands on Gig Heaven range from compact trios and quartets to larger ensembles with horn sections, backing singers and full rhythm sections. A bigger line-up delivers the powerful, rich soul sound, while smaller groups suit tighter budgets and venues.

Most soul bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments and amplification. For larger events, additional equipment may be needed. For the best experience, confirm technical details with the band before booking.

Some acts work with a fixed singer and others draw from a small pool, so it is worth asking which applies before booking. Where a specific voice matters, naming it at the enquiry stage is the only way to secure it. Acts that rotate singers will normally say so and can often send recordings of each.

A four or five-piece with a strong singer fills most function rooms, and the difference at that size is closer to weight than to energy. Larger rooms and higher guest numbers are where the extra players start to matter. Guest numbers and the room are a better guide to this than the size of the budget.

A smaller group leans on voice and rhythm, so brass-driven material is either rearranged or left out. Larger line-ups cover the catalogue much as recorded, which matters when particular songs have to be in the set. Naming those songs is the quickest way to find out which size suits.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
