About Vendor
Learn more about this vendor for your event.
We dare to be different. What separates us from others? We are not just a band...we are pioneer entertainers with collectively over 100 years stage and entertainment experience. We are the most talked about live, cover, and dance band in this region, primarily because we started the comeback of 'ole school' the ole school way--horns, image, and all.
Says trombonist Terrance Taplin: "Nostalgic as it may seem, we keep any party jumping. We tear the roof off."
We provide a musical phenomenon that is fun, exciting, and memorable. Each musical journey is lead by artist, founder, organizer, and featured entertainer--Bobby J. He takes you through time, bellowing golden day tunes to current remakes. His melodious, raspy tenor voice in conjunction with his unique stage persona is captivating.
"He brings years of experience to the stage--in a soulful way," Terrance continues. "Bobby J selects the best of ole school and because he is versatile and creative (sort of a Quincy Jones), he satisfies every audience every time."
Simply stated, we are tagged as a silhouette of 'ole school' splendor that you'll always remember. Short of national recognition, our entertainment package--guaranteed--will augment any event.
Recorded performances on stage with: Ashford and Simpson, Billy Preston, Peabo Bryson, The Drifters, The Dixie Cups, Larry Graham, Gladys Knight, Frankie Beverly and Maze, Chuck Mangione, The 'original' Temptations, Kool and the Gang, Gladys Knight, Usher, Raheim DeVaughn, Pieces of a Dream, Aaron Neville and the Neville Brothers, Irma Thomas, to name a few.

Review by Nancy F.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 22, 2008•From New Orleans, LA
This was one of, if not the best, band I have ever hired and I've hired many over the years. They looked professional, their music was outstanding and their talent unmatched. Loved them!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 8, 2007•From Jackson, MS
Bobby J and Stuff Like That are absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough good things about them. They are great musicians and very professional. Bobby J really knows how to get a crowd in the mood to dance. He called the bride and groom by name, which was such a personal touch. We had an absolute blast at the wedding reception. By the end of the night everyone was up dancing. We didn't want the reception to end!

Trina, You were wonderful hosts. We had equally as much fun, if not more. Hopefully our future clients will be as great as you. Thanks again. God bless you all.Awards & Badges
