The Risse Band has traveled throughout the Southeast wowing audiences with the greatest package of multi-talented musicians and entertainers to hit the road. This concept of a 6-piece live dream band, is committed to providing superb instrumentation, extraordinary vocals and a repertoire of innovative musical arrangements, merging traditional with originality. The band was formed in 1980 by Victor Stone. The Risse Band never leaves home without class from the front line to the rear. With three dynamic lead vocalists, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums and percussion, the Risse Band compliments a broad range of tastes.

As the Risse Band approaches the third decade of entertaining audiences all over the US, the band has firmly established itself as a premier variety, corporate and wedding band. Members of Risse have opened for such headliners as David Ruffin, Eddie Kendrick, The Supremes, Sawyer Brown, Mothers Finest, Levert, Millie Jackson, McFadden and Whitehead and Eddie Floyd, to name a few. The presentation of music is customized for each event. The band's versatility allows it to switch gears at any given moment, depending on the mood of the room. The basic set begins low-key, lowest volume, with standards or beach and oldies, or right to the heart of the party, whatever is appropriate, Risse delivers. Each song is especially chosen for a proven audience response. "A Party's Not A Party Without The Risse Band".

Ted, Where do I begin! The Risse Band was, without a doubt, the best band we have ever had. The dance floor was packed all night long (even when pre-recorded music played during breaks!) It was amazing to see how the band tailored their sets to the mood of the crowd. The “buzz” around town is that this year’s RiverDance was the best ever, and the Risse Band certainly deserves the credit! Warmest regards, Barbara

We couldn't have been happier with "Risses" performance. Jaisun touched base with us weeks in advance to confirm arrangements. The entire band was very friendly and professional. They were the first band in a long time that new how to control the volume during dinner service so our members could carry on a conversation. This band was very in tune to the surroundings. The music was excellent and the whole band was energetic and could easily switch from one style of music to another as they read the crowd. Jaisun knows how to work the crowd and get everyone on their feet. The guys were all in tune too. Our staff loved every minute too.

All in all, we would love to have "Risse" come rock this house any time. As soon as I get a date for the member guest tournament for 2009, we would love to reserve

"Risse" for next year. It was great to see people who you would never have thought would even dance, stay all night and enjoy themselves.

Everything went fantastic on the wedding day from start to finish! I was very impressed with the Risse band - they rocked the house! I had people coming up to me all night saying how great they were (and still). Jaisun and the crew were fabulous. They were professional, did the intros as requested, read the crowd well and really kept the dance floor jumping. Even got a reluctant group of guys up out of their seats and on the dance floor where they entertained the crowd. That was worth the money right there! Great group of musicians for sure. We were more than satisfied.

Our experience with Risse, again, was great. They have a great sound and work well with the group always. It was Fred's mother's birthday as well and they did a wonderful 'Happy Birthday' with her. Jason is always good to work with. I have no complaints at all.
