September 30, 2025Great!!
C. Hosey was great! He played songs that all of the guest sincerely enjoyed. It added such a touch of class to our party.
After Hosey completed his set.We had a technical issue and Hosey stepped right in to help us resolve that technical problem.
We are thankful for his music, provided to the party and grateful for his service in helping us afterwards.
He will be used in the future by family and friends who attended the party because they asked for his name.

February 3, 2025A magical Christmas evening with an outstanding performance
We had the pleasure of hiring C Hosey for our Christmas dinner, and the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Not only was the performance breathtaking—blending classic Christmas melodies with soulful, jazzy undertones—but the musician also provided additional equipment that elevated the entire experience. The integration of sound, ambiance, and festive charm created an unforgettable atmosphere for everyone.
The staff were very professional, talented, and deeply passionate about their crafts. They really brought the holiday spirit to life in the most elegant way. If you're looking to add a touch of magic to your event, we highly recommend them. We will certainly be booking again for future celebrations!

From Motown to modern R&B, this group brings polished vocalists, tight horns, and groove-driven rhythms to your party, gala, or reception dance floor.

Additional booking notes
For solo performance/jazz trio, all we need is a mic and a speaker. Usually we provide both.
For 30 minute brass band performance, nothing is typically required as we second-line around a given area. However, we would advise on checking with your district policies on such an event. Usually a permit and police escort are required. We can handle it. However, it will cost extra according to the price quoted from the City of New Orleans.
For the stage brass band performance (2-3 hours), 6 mics and two speakers are needed. However, we do have our own equipment that we travel with. Price negotiable
Our bartender and servers can provide alcohol. However, the price will be increased based on what is needed.
