Overview
The Highsteppers are a scorching hot classic soul and r&b band from Seattle. We play both the hits and deep cuts of the greatest era of music and keep the dance floor moving all night long.
With a full ten piece band, you'll get no samples, no backing tracks, no electronic drums... Everything is live and done the way real rhythm and blues is supposed to be done.
We have an extensive song list that is always growing (check out our Spotify playlist here: https://goo.gl/Kb75fc), and we're always happy to take special requests to customize our performance to your event!

The band was amazing and exceeded our expectations. They played all the right tunes from the Motown era and got everyone in the dancing mood. The singers were phenomenal and Jack the band manager was very responsive and easy to work with. I would book them again.
Motown Group
They had a group of over 600 people dancing during what was orginally supposed to be cocktail hour and dinner. There energy was contagious and the big band sound filled an entire aircraft hangar. Everyone enjoyed them so much we begged them to play an extra hour past there scheduled time and they obliged. Cannot recommend them higher!
We had a band drop out on our event with short notice and the Highsteppers were able to step in (ha!) and save the day. They brought a whole live sound setup and looked and sounded fabulous. We are most certainly going to be booking them again for future events.

Wow we had so much fun. We all danced until we dropped! The band was amazing. We already hired them again for next year, can't wait!
Cover Band, Dance Band, Party Band, Soul Band
They did the best classics, and new stuff too, it was so fun! So nice to have a real live band and not a DJ. We were getting compliments on the band all night. Such a great time! Thanks Highsteppers, you rock.
Party Band
We hired the Highsteppers to play our holiday party and they were amazing! They had even our most shy staff members dancing. So fun and super professional. We will definitely be hiring them again soon!

About
We are a group of veteran Seattle musicians brought together by a mutual love of classic soul and r&b. We noticed that most of the cover bands that play this type of music use backing tracks in place of real live horns, don't dress the part, or just don't put in the time and energy to do it right.
We want to remedy this by bringing these amazing classic dance floor shaking songs to life the way they should be done, with class, style, and electricity! We are excited to play and that excitement spreads across the entire room and keeps the dance floor packed all night long!
