Timely, Professional, Entertaining

It was a pleasure working with the Diverse Band. Communication with Mr. Burton was seamless. Band members were professional and entertaining;extremely flexible,adaptive, and versatile in musical genre and presentation. The band followed our program agenda with ease. Our audience loved the music, a combination of jazz, R & B, and pop. So nice, we brought them back twice, and by the way, they were dressed to impress for our elegant affair.

About

As a FULL unit, we are a 4 piece band. Christopher Burton (keys, organ) , Howard Burton (drums), Robert Johnson (bass guitar) , and Bryant Neil (lead/ rhythm guitar). We do not have a vocalist, HOWEVER, the drummer does sing while playing drums most tones, or the person that hired us can choose to want a male/ or female singer. AND OR we can provide a Saxophonist. THUS we WILL provide one for accommodation. Also our price ranges vary upon distance that must be traveled, sets that must be played, type of events, and amount of musicians needed for the gig. For instance, the lest sets the less we will ask for. The more musicians you want, the higher the ask price will be. We all reside in the east oaklane/ northeast area of Philadelphia and are very professional in what we do. Our prices are very reasonable, and we will do all that must be done for the customer to be happy!
