Six of the best players that Western North Carolina has to offer comprise this incredibly energetic and soulful group. The Business pays tribute to two great eras of music, the glamorous vocal jazz era of the 20’s 30’s and 40’s and the infectious Motown and Soul era from the 50’s trough the 70s. With a repertoire that includes the hits from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Lois Armstrong, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Al green and many more, you will delight on the dance floor or from your seat as the music is infectious to dancers and listeners alike.
Whether you prefer a classic vocal jazz ensemble or a “blow the roof off the place” dance band, or both, The Business delivers the goods; vocal and instrumental jazz, blues and classic rock.
"Some of Asheville's hottest players have banded together to form The Business, a funky soul-driven escapade, destined to not only get the party started, but to keep grooving till the wee hours. A dance band to the core, The Business specializes in old-school hip-swaying favorites, in the vein of Motown and Stax, with some originals thrown into the mix." - Laura Blackley, The Asheville Citizen Times
"We're Tower of Power funky meets Al Green soul......We are so excited to share with our friends what private party throwers have been soaking in for years. Bring your dancing shoes and leave your inhibitions at home. Find something to celebrate and forget about everything else for this one night. We are not coming to play a gig, we are coming to give you the time of your life. " -- The Business
