Soul music is a music style that originated in the United States in the 1960s and is a mixture of gospel, blues and rhythm & blues. Characteristics of soul music are an emotional, spiritual and exciting sound, with a lot of attention to the vocals, an exciting beat and a soulful melody. Soul bands are suitable for all kinds of events, such as parties, weddings, company parties and concerts.

Music style: A soul band focuses specifically on soul music, while an all-round band plays music from different genres, such as pop, rock, funk, jazz and soul.

Repertoire: A soul band often has a more limited repertoire, focused on soul songs, while an all-round band has a much broader repertoire and is able to play songs from different genres.

Target group: A soul band usually focuses on a specific target group, namely fans of soul music, while an all-round band appeals to a broader target group.

During the breaks, the band provides atmospheric music which they play over their sound system. The music is of course in line with the music played during the performance. Some bands come with a DJ, who will then provide the music. Of course you can also book a DJ for the breaks with all live bands

Usually a band doesn't need a stage. They can often play in a free area of ​​the hall if it is not raised. Depending on the room layout and the number of people present, a stage can be an added value. This makes the musicians more visible to the public. Live bands that often require a stage are premium bands and well-known bands. If you have any other questions, you can always contact us about booking a live band. Band bookings make every party a success.
