Hello,

I’d like to introduce you to one of the most dynamic and engaging live acts in the Midwest — Joe Pratt & The Source One Band featuring New Orleans Beau. With over 30 years of worldwide touring experience alongside some of the true legends of R&B, soul, and blues, this band delivers an unforgettable show that keeps every audience on its feet.
This year, Joe Pratt & The Source One Band had the honor of serving as the house band for the Chicago Blues Fest, bringing our signature energy and authenticity to thousands of fans. We’ve also performed at Hollywood Casino, Fitzgerald’s, Hey Nonny, and numerous festivals and premier venues across Chicagoland.
Led by the incomparable New Orleans Beau — whose charisma makes it hard to keep him on the stage — each member of the band brings more than three decades of experience performing with Chicago’s soul and blues greats. Our shows feature a powerful mix of R&B, Motown, soul, blues, and when the crowd calls for it, rock, country, and classic standards.
We also can offer customized tribute sets honoring musical legends like Chess Records, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Frankie Beverly, and Sam Cooke, making our performances perfect for festivals, casinos, clubs, and corporate events.
Would you be interested in bringing this experience to your venue or event?

The band can provide all amps, instruments, p.a., and speakers if requested
