Overview

The Band Just a LilBit consists of seven musicians who share a love for music that comes from the heart and soul. Individually, each of these masterful musicians has achieved great levels of success. From television appearances, solo album recordings, film scoring, overseas touring, and multiple collaborations with recording industry professionals, JLB's members have amassed a great deal of experience. As a unit these seven musicians fuse together in such a way that you will find yourself tapping your feet and dancing out of your seat to unique sounds of funk, soul, reggae, latin, rock, and house music all night long.

Amazing group, excellent entertainment

Just a LilBit was the perfect match for our corporate dinner event. Very entertaining, adapted to our public and very easy setting up all logistics. I would highly recommend them and I definitely plan on hiring them again. A job more than well done!

About

A musical phenomenon was born in the heart and mind of LaQuin Lay on August 11, 2006. His goal was to provide a diverse live music experience. LaQuin also felt the need for the music to connect with and reflect the thoughts and feelings of regular working folk. The Band Just a LilBit consists of seven musicians who share a love for music that comes from the heart and soul. Individually, each of these masterful musicians has achieved great levels of success. From television appearances, solo album recordings, film scoring, overseas touring, and multiple collaborations with recording industry professionals, JLB's members have amassed a great deal of experience. As a unit these seven musicians fuse together in such a way that you will find yourself tapping your feet and dancing out of your seat to unique sounds of soul and blues. While very aware of Mainstream Top 40 hits, JLB also strives to entertain with a unique brand of original music. One of the bands mantras is "When it's good all you need is Just a LilBit".Currently Just a LilBit has released their debut album entitled "Gangsta Smooth Jazz". Be on the look out for this fresh new sound coming to a stage and festival near you!
