A bit about us: We're Detroit Deluxe, an electrifying 8-piece band specializing in Motown and R&B. We're a very friendly and flexible bunch who take great pride in providing excellent musicianship and creating a really fun atmosphere wherever we go. Our lineup features two dynamic lead vocalists, Rachel and Reniece, backed by a talented ensemble of musicians on bass, guitar, keys, drums, saxophone, and trumpet. We're proud to be part of a high-calibre collective of musicians that are some of the most in-demand talent in the UK music industry. We have more than one person for each supporting instrumental role, which means should a band member be called away on tour or called in to record with major artists, there will always be another member from the collective ready to step in and deliver a seamless performance for you and your guests. So you can book with total peace of mind and know that we will deliver a top-notch performance every time.
We have a big long list of songs spanning different genres and decades for you to pick from – everything from Motown classics to R&B hits, disco anthems, and pop favorites. We can also play complimentary playlist music before, in-between, and after live sets if you would like. We also operate reduced rates Sunday to Friday (excluding December).
If you've any questions about the band and what we offer, please don't hesitate; we'll be more than happy to help.

We come fully equipped with our own professional PA system and lighting rig, ready to transform any venue into a concert experience.
Please provide directions to the venue, including specific load-in instructions. Also, please let us know if there's a sound limiter.
We're happy to provide music from Spotify before, after, and between sets, either based on your preferences or our own selection.
We thrive on connecting with different audiences and creating special memories, whether it's a wedding celebration, a corporate event, or a festival. We've been fortunate to play at some fantastic venues, each with its own charm. Some that stand out include the stunning coastal setting of a wedding in Cornwall, the elegant ballroom of a historic mansion in East Sussex, and the vibrant atmosphere of a London music festival.
As a band steeped in Motown and R&B, we draw inspiration from legends like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and The Supremes. Their soulful vocals, infectious grooves, and timeless songwriting have shaped our musical identity. Choosing a single favorite artist or greatest song is tough, but "Respect" by Aretha Franklin holds a special place in our hearts for its powerful message and enduring impact.
Our band members have diverse musical backgrounds, from performing in theater productions and on cruise ships to collaborating with renowned artists and choirs. Rachel and Reniece, our lead vocalists, have honed their skills through years of experience in the live music industry. We came together through a shared love for Motown and R&B, and our passion for performing ignited our journey as Detroit Deluxe. We started gigging by networking with event planners, promoting our services online, and relying on word-of-mouth referrals.
We love playing at all kinds of events, but weddings hold a special place in our hearts. The joyous atmosphere, the opportunity to be a part of someone's special day, and the chance to create lasting memories through music make weddings truly rewarding experiences.
We'll be on site for a full 7 hours, from 5pm to midnight, ensuring your event has a fantastic soundtrack from start to finish. Ideally, we require 90 minutes for setup and soundcheck, allowing us to create the perfect atmosphere for your guests.
However, we pride ourselves on being flexible and accommodating. If you have any time constraints, we can be ready to go within an hour if a sound engineer is booked as an add on.
Our performance includes two energetic 60-minute live sets usually from around 8pm, guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. In between sets, we'll keep the party vibe going with carefully curated background music, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Yes as long as the weather is suitable or if there is a back up option or cover for the band and the equipment.
The clients can make suggestions for songs from our repertoire, and we always offer a one 'off the menu' request that the band can learn, either as a first dance or to go in the band set.
Our clients often praise our exceptional vocals, energetic performances, and ability to get everyone on the dance floor. They appreciate our professionalism, flexibility, and willingness to accommodate their requests. We're often told that we create a fun and unforgettable atmosphere that elevates their events. Many have highlighted our engaging stage presence and how we interact with guests, making them feel like a part of the celebration.
