A fusion of RnB, blues, jazz, gospel and funk. Either solo piano/vocalist or as a 4piece band. Will also play piano-based pop on request including Elton John, Billy Joel etc but always with a bluesy feel!
The New Orleans RnB Band is a spicy stew from Louisiana. At the mouth of the Mississippi lies New Orleans, a melting pot of European, Latin, Caribbean and African influences which has created a spicy stew of music and street culture.
Jamie and his band celebrates this by playing a piece of musical history, from early jazz to gospel, creole to latin and from blues to RnB, soul and funk. The music is feel-good, sometimes toe-tapping and at other times as languid and as laid back as the winding Mississippi itself.
Happy to entertain the crowds, we will get you dancing to some rock n roll and more familiar songs which we will sneak in from time to time to keep the energy tip top!
