Nu Soul

Artist ID: 30990

Nu-Soul is the perfect ensemble for a your reception. One female lead vocalist backed up by four seasoned musicians/singers make Nu-Soul an elegant and fun band for most any type of occasion. Nu-Soul will never be too loud for your cocktail hour or too tame for your dance party. These experienced players will enhance your evening from the first note to the last dance.

Nu-Soul was formed by Shyrod Taylor, the leader of one of the South's most popular bands, Papa-Sol. He has taken the crowd-pleasing formula of Papa-Sol and created a band that is perfect for receptions that may require a smaller size band with a full band sound. Nu-Soul's 5-piece instrumentation also allows you to be flexible with the location of your reception or party. Whether it is a large Country Club Ballroom or a historic manor or even under a tent in your backyard, you and your guests will enjoy Nu Sol's hot sound and lively interaction.

All of the musicians in Nu-Soul have over ten years experience in playing private parties. They specialize in audience participation whether it be your five year old doing the limbo with the bass player or your great grandmother swing dancing to 'Mack the Knife'.

For those receptions that need the flexibility of a smaller band and the energy of a national act, Nu-Soul is a fantastic choice.

REFERENCES

The reason for trying to find them was to tell them just how REALLY great they were at the reception. I have never attended a wedding where it was virtually impossible to find a spot on the dance floor for just about the entire evening. They obviously new how to work and interact with the crowd to build and maintain momentum. In addition to wedding attendees telling me how great the band was, members of the hotel staff were overheard talking about how great the reception was and I am not oblivious to the fact that this was mostly the result of the band. These guys are seasoned professionals that enjoy what they are doing and leave nothing on the table. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make sure the band knows how we feel about their performance, and if they ever need a testimonial they can call me anytime! Thanks for your work as well putting it together for us, Scott.

Nu Soul was FANTASTIC. People are still talking about how great and fun they were. They couldnt have been more entertaining for our guests--- I think we had every person on the dance floor by the end of the night.

What can we say???? They were fabulous! Music was wonderful and they were delightful people. Thank you so much. You were all very helpful and easy to work with. If I can be helpful in recommending you please allow us that opportunity! Everyone had a ball and we had several comments like,"I haven't danced in 20 years!" and "Your band is the best I have seen at a wedding. They are good at getting everyone to dance". Thanks to Nu Sol for making our daughters wedding memorable.
Rick and Trudy Guthrie

The band could not have been any better. They did a great job getting the crowd involved and made things a lot of fun. We had a handful of cameos in the crowd and they accommodated them graciously. Thanks for all your help and let the band know I think everyone at the wedding will come calling when they get married or have a party.

We could not have been more pleased with Nu Soul and EastCoast Entertainment as the entertainment for our daughter's debutante reception! Jenna fancies herself a singer, and was able to join the band for a couple of songs, and her friend, a budding drummer, also sat in on a piece or two. The song list was perfectly balanced, costumes were just right, and the group was so congenial that we were truly sad to hear the last song and see them go. We have recommended Nu Soul, and EastCoast Entertainment, to all of the guests at our party, and we look forward to seeing them and your other fine groups at parties in savannah over the years to come. Thank you and your staff for your complete professionalism and attention to detail - you made a difficult job seem as easy as sliding a hot knife through butter. Please feel free to share our comments with anyone who might need a recommendation.
