Description

Covering the Central Florida and east and west coasts, Norma Roberts and Lou Polizzi form the heart of the band SOUL-R-ENERGY. True pros, they have played in many venues, nationally as well as locally, and have numerous professional and recording credentials. Their emphasis is variety, jazz/swing, R and B and wedding/society type music where they can please all ages, musical tastes and all dance styles. Just give the audio samples to the right a listen! If you want to hear classics from the 50's, 60's, disco hits, lots of "belly-rubbers" with some latin and swing classics thrown in (even a Polka or two!)SOUL-R-ENERGY should be your choice!
If a dance/variety act is what you desire the duo of Norma and Lou can provide what you need to keep your guests dancing. For that quiet, sophisticated affair where backgroung/easy listening music is what you need the group is also available as a jazz quartet (listen to the SAMPLE SOFT JAZZ TUNES). Of course, doing it all is fine too!

Whether you need soft, beautiful music to create a sophisticated atmosphere or get your crowd moving on the dance floor SOUL-R-ENERGY won't disappoint you or your guests!

Feedback

  • Everyone loved the band. It was great. Will do it again. -- Kay D, Orlando, FL, 10/8/2011
  • FANTASTIC! Norma is one of the best female singers we have heard in a long time! They were hired as a two piece but Lou played saxes, guitars, clarinet and piano, an amazing musician. They did all types of music from disco, soul and rock, to tangos and polkas! The people who were into ballroom dancing really loved them as they got to dance to all types of music. The age group of the crowd (about 250 people) was from 20 to over 80 and everyone had a great time. Hire them, you won't be sorry! -- Deniele P, Lake Wales, FL, 3/10/2012
