By Christa Jarvis


There are often a lot of choices when planning a wedding or other special event. One of the biggest decisions in this planning is the type of entertainment. Whether providing pre-recorded songs, or hiring live music like the 51 Soul Boston Music Dance Band Plays Jazz, R&B, Soul and Funk which covers a number of existing titles while also willing to learn new ones upon request, music is often key.

Having played at renowned Jazz venues like Ryles in Boston, and Victoria Station in Salem, among others, the band often plays to a very diverse crowd. Whether straight, or LGBT, most of those who love live music have found a connection to at least some, if not all the different styles played by this unusually talented group of musicians.

Being open to playing different types of ceremonies and weddings, the group has a bright future. Although, while there is a standard list of covers, those desiring specific music for an event may want to talk to the players well in advance. If given enough time, the musicians are generally more than willing to learn new music.

Songs which are covered on a regular basis include Spanish Joint by D'Anegelo, Apple Tree by Erykah Badu, Delivered by Stevie Wonder and many others. The complete list of the songs in the data base are listed on the 51 Soul website. As previously stated, if a song is not listed, the group may be able to learn and provide other material as requested either on the spot, or in advance.

Soul 51 has a few examples of the type of energy and sound provided at weddings and special events. While the videos are few and far between, each gives a great example. As such, those looking to hire the group for special events may want to view these videos in advance to gain a better idea of the band's presence and style.

Currently, 51 Soul is branching out, offering gigs at local pubs and other venues. The musicians are honored to currently have a residency at Victoria Station through October 2014. After which, the sky is the limit when it comes to holiday gigs, parties and other events. If you enjoy solid jazz, funk, R&B, and rock and roll, this is a great group for private and public events.

It is often advised that those looking to book this amazing group of musicians book the date, time and location in advance. Otherwise, it can often be difficult to assure accommodating a specific date, time and location. Still, the musicians will do whatever possible to accommodate as many requests as possible, or work to find an alternative date, or other entertainment when and where possible.

Soul 51 appreciates all fans, especially those whom can understand pre-bookings. The group will do everything possible to book requested dates. Although, there can be times when the band has already been booked to play a specific date, time and location. As such, while the group often does multiple gigs, this may or may not be possible depending on location and distance. Still, whether individuals can book a different date, or has to select an alternative form of entertainment, the band understands and hopes fans will also.
