Ardent music lovers from the Motor City will tell you that “There ain’t no party like a
Dee-troit party”. And no party starts without a Hot Party Band. If you need one, you

However, we do have capability to add a horn, male vocalist, and another keyboardist if the budget permits. Comprised of some of the best musicians and singers around, this band will rock any venue and energize any event. With a repertoire of R&B, Pop, Funk, Top 40,
Soul, and Classics, Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations are one of the
most dynamic and entertaining party bands in Metro-Detroit.

Denise Davis was a delight to talk to, watch perform and interact with the crowd. The band took me back to the soul music I remember. The audience loved the entire show. I'm so happy I choose this group for our annual Field Day and Southside Music festival.Awesome performance from the heart. Cynthia Field Day and Southside Music Festival chair.

Photos from this event
We hired Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations for our NYE 2020/2021 event and we have had nothing but nonstop compliments! What a super fun group of extremely talented musicians and vocalists. They covered all of our favorite Motown dance tunes and some funky beats to boot! Ms Denise is an entertainer from the word go, she is a natural and such a sweet sweet lady. We would definitely invite them back again.

I cannot express enough how wonderful of a time we had because of booking Denise Davis and the motor city sensations. They even took the time to learn some special requests, and killed it! If I could give them a 1000 stars I would! Book this band you will not be disappointed......

Response from Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations:
Whooo Hooo
Thanks
Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations were awesome. Everyone in attendance absolutely loved Denise and the rest of her team. Everyone (and I mean everyone) in the crowd was up on their feet dancing. I genuinely cannot wait to have them back for my next party! Denise knows how to make a party enjoy every moment at its fullest. Denise and her team were courteous as can be, a ton of fun to host, the life of the party, and a future staple of my private events. Between the performance, demeanor, and appearance, there was nothing more we could have wished for. Thanks again, and I look forward to next time! I would give 6 stars if it was an option. Best, Daniel.

Response from Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations:
Thank you
Denise and her team were great! They made us spend a beautiful moment on the Detroit River (it was a cruise corporate event).
Denise came with her guitarist and the music they played was rousing!
These are generous people that brings a lot of energy during the events they are part of.
For corporate or personal events, I will definitely recommend them!
Thank you again Denise & Motor City Sensations

Thank you. Call us when you need
Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations were great to work with from communication prior to the event to their energetic performance! They were very interactive with our residents and community! I think a couple of the highlights of the event was the dedication Denise did for all of our Veterans (it was very humbling for everyone in attendance) and then when she had our guests come up with her and dance and one of the ladies sang a song with her. Everyone had a great time and I am still receiving feedback from out community, staff and residents! I would highly recommend them for any event and will definitely be checking to see if we can have them back next year!

Thank you for having us at your Family Day event and for your review. Should you need our services, you have our contact information. Talk to you soon!!
Denise was prompt and professional in all our dealings prior to the show. On event day, she and her band were set up early and ready to go. And man did they deliver! This is a top-flight group with big chops and Denise is a force of nature. She really got everyone –young and old – into the spirit of the evening. You will love this band. Motown, R&B and more.

Response from Denise Davis and the Motor City Sensations:
Thanks you Tim and Lauren (call me) for the booking. We most certainly appreciated the warm love and hospitality that was given. You staff and supporters were outstanding. The band had a great time. We new just Motown wouldn't work because people ALWAYS see us and want to dance. So we had to bring it. In our opinion" flip the script" Tina always get it, Aretha always bring it, and most of all Prince pops it!!! Everyone had a great time and we hope to see you next year.
This was the best. I am so pleased with the performance of this group. We were provided with an array of Motown songs. Denise and the band added just enough interaction with the group to take everyone's night over the top. They arrived early, they were setup on time and ready to get started just as agreed. If you are looking for "simply the best" then look no further.
