June 26, 2022Couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band!
Moxie went above and beyond for our wedding! They made sure they weren’t too loud during dinner, but then made sure everyone got up and dancing after! We got so many compliments about how great they were. They made our wedding so much more exciting and we couldn’t be happier!

May 14, 2021Moxie won't disappoint!
We used Moxie for a nursing home event. Residents, staff and visitors of all ages enjoyed the performance. They arrived early, were well prepared, and put on a great show! We are already planning to use them again for future events.

June 17, 2019Absolutely The Best!
We finished the second year hiring Moxie to play for our community event. Residents in our community love Moxie. Their musicianship is excellent, voices are superb, but more important, their spirit and wonderful, fun, cheerful, family atmosphere. Their song selection, a combination of 70's Funk, Motown, and Oldies tunes, creates the perfect atmosphere for entertainment and/or dancing. I can't say enough good about Moxie. I'd give them six stars--but there's only five above. So, consider this a Six (6) Star Rating! Now, give them a call. You'll not regret it!

June 8, 2019This is the band!!
We hired Moxie for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party, and they did not disappoint. They were amazing! Everyone at the party commented how great the band was, and they got people to the dance floor. They have a big sound with a Saxophone, keyboard, drums, bass, guitar, lead singer they knew how to control the volume so it was perfect for our inside venue. They were professional, talented, and a crowd pleaser! If you are looking to make your event memorable, this is the band!

What to expect
Moxie delivers a family-friendly performance that features classic soul, R&B, funk, disco and beach music, from artists like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Al Green and Tina Turner, to name a few. Our playlist is packed with songs that people know and can sing along with. Whether it's a private party for 50 people or an outdoor festival for several hundred, Moxie puts on a professional show that gets people up and having a good time.
For the event organizer, we are easy to work with and flexible in fitting the music in with other activities that might be planned.

About
Since 2015, Moxie has delighted audiences in the Triad region of North Carolina with their covers of "old school" soul, R&B, Motown, funk, and disco music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Our playlist is packed with songs that people know and can sing along with, and is designed with one goal in mind – to keep people on the dance floor having a good time all night long. Cassandra Wright’s soulful vocals are backed by the tight harmonies and impeccable musicianship of bandmates Sal Burnette (bass & vocals), Mike Howard (keyboards & vocals), Mark Motlow (keyboards & vocals), Tim Bailey (drums), Grant Blair (guitar & vocals), and Bryce Worthy (sax, percussion & vocals). Moxie's sound blends a soulful groove with a funky attitude. Bring your dancing shoes and come hear for yourself – it takes Moxie to make music this good!
Additional booking notes
We prefer a 20 x 12 ft. stage area, but can fit in a smaller space if needed. If performing outdoors, a covered stage area is requested. We need a minimum of 1 hour for set-up and sound check.
Our electrical requirements are basic. We will need access to two 20-amp or one 30-amp 110 volt electrical circuit.
We provide our own professional-grade Bose p.a. system and stage lighting. A table in the audience area is requested for the sound engineer. We'll work with the client on appropriate placement of this table so as not to interfere with seating for event patrons.
