Overview

The Highsteppers are a scorching hot classic soul and r&b band led by three badass divas. 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 was meant to be.

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!

PHENOMENAL band! Talented, professional, and fun!

The Highsteppers performed at our wedding this summer and they totally rocked. They had the whole party (including me, the bride) dancing all night! We had a blast, and were SO happy we chose them - the music really made the night. Jack was also extremely easy to work with in advance, and the whole band is professional and lovely in person. Highly, highly recommend.

Best Night of Our Lives!

My husband and I hired The Highsteppers for our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made. They were able to accommodate both our cocktail hour music with just a few band members and then our music for the rest of the night with the whole band. It truly felt like we threw a summer concert because of how much fun and energy they brought to our wedding. Also they were able to learn our song of choice for our first dance which is my favorite memory of the whole night. I can not emphasize enough what an amazingly talented, fun and generous group of musicians the Highsteppers are, and highly recommended them if you are looking for great live music for your event.

The right stuff.

The Highsteppers took our wedding to unforeseen heights. I cried. They cried. They truly blew us away. I was looking for a wedding band, now I’m a groupie! I play a little music and they totally accommodated me getting on stage and doing a couple ditties. They were also naturals at helping us announce toasts and events. 10 out of 10. Would hire them again a heartbeat. We’re in Portland and looked at every band in town, but none of them had the right stuff. The Highsteppers have it. Now that our wedding is over, we’re trying to scheme how to hire them again in the future… Until then!

Incredible band, outrageously good music

The Highsteppers performed at our wedding and they really *made* the reception. Powerhouse vocalists that brought everyone to the dance floor. Jack, the manager, is incredibly easy to work with, good communicator, fast, has good advice during the planning process. They provided a pianist for our ceremony who showed up and timed everything perfectly (without any rehearsal!).

Plus, they were super easy about travel logistics (we got married in the San Juan Islands) and they're just outrageously talented. They even learned a couple songs at our request. We're still hearing from guests about how much they loved the music.

Incredible band

The Highsteppers played our wedding and they pretty much made the whole night. We really wanted musicians who were really good at their craft and could really put on a show for us. We were looking for a concert for our wedding night and the The Highsteppers blew us away. They are true professionals. They brought their own stage setup, glowing sign, and lights - and then put on a show that we will never forget. What an incredible group of talented musicians!

60th Birthday Bash

The Highsteppers provided the entertainment for my wife’s 60th birthday party. It was at our private venue in Yakima for our 80 guests. From my initial contact thru the day of the event the communication and booking was smooth and easy. The band was professional, their music and entertainment was stellar and EVERYONE, from the 60-70 yr olds down through the generations to my 14 month old granddaughter had a fabulous time. This band rocks, the vocals were beautiful, the horns soulful, the guitars and keyboard and drummer tight; in a word AWESOME. Thanks for making the trip over, it was an unforgettable night!

Motown Magic

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.

Highsteppers Stepped Up To The Challenge

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!

Highsteppers to the rescue!

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.

Such a great time!

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.

What a killer 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!

What to Expect

We can tailor our set to fit your event. Whether you want the full band playing dance hits all night, a smaller group doing something a little more low key, or a combination somewhere in between, we are professionals and will make it happen.

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!

Additional Booking Notes

We have a professional sound system, lighting, and stage that we can bring if necessary.. not to mention our awesome flashy Highsteppers sign!
