The Commotions Motown Band from New York City, NY

The Commotions are an 8-piece Motown band hopping between NYC stages. We play fun up-tempo music for weddings, parties and other events within the New York City area. We were born in April 2017, we never forget to group hug, and our first word was "GOT DAMN." "Motown assembled the soul and pop classics that changed America. There's no hyperbole in that statement. Arriving at the height of the civil rights movement, Motown was a black-owned, black-centered business that gave white America something they just could not get enough of — joyous, sad, romantic, mad, groovin', movin' music." "The sheer number of chart-topping artists, musicians, and groups produced by Motown defied comprehension: Martha and the Vandellas, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Gladys Knight and the Pips, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye. All became part of what would come to be known as the Motown Sound." A Brief History of Motown
