Motor City Beat is a dynamic and versatile, rhythm & blues and Motown band featuring from four to ten musicians, depending on the event and customer requirements. The core group features, keyboard, guitar, bass and drums, with the keyboard player and guitarist, singing and doubling on sax and trumpet respectively. Our most common configuration features one lead vocalist, male or female, but we often perform with both male and female vocalists, as well as a one to three piece horn section.Enhance any ambience with Louis Johnson Jazz. LJJ features pianist Louis Johnson, acclaimed bassist Don Mayberry and renowned drummer Jimmy Ryan, playing swinging standards, ballads, bossa nova, as well as our own jazz versions of R & B, pop and rock tunes, from the Beatles to Earth, Wind & Fire. Ideal for cocktails and dinner, we offer some vocals are also comfortable playing dance music. We are often joined by female vocalist and/or one or more horn players, as customers require. Our fees range from $300 to $5,000, depending on personnel, hours, and equipment required for the event (we charge a modest premium for early set up and for travel of more than 100 miles from Detroit).

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Motor City Beat brought out the passion and romance of our youth on our 25th wedding anniversary. Their performance ROCKED!! They brought their own special sparkle to the music we all love so much, from Motown to Jazz to R&B/Blues. Their professionalism was paramount, from their black tie attire, to their prompt arrival and discreet departure. Everyone raved about them. It made my wife very happy. They were friendly, accomodating, passionate about their music, and entertaining.
A First Class Act, and highly recomended.

The band was excellent and very professional. They arrived on time and played the type of music that my guest liked and enjoyed. They stayed until the party was over. Some of my guest asked who were they and where did I get them from, I told them that I got them off the internet at gig master. If I were to give another party I would contact them.

An excellent choice for "An Evening of Jazz at the Club", their song selection, musical abilities and talent, and presentation were highly professional and enjoyed. We look forward to having them return for another evening.
