The Obsessions bring legendary soul back to life with style, energy, and top-tier musicality. This soul band for events features young, sharply dressed musicians who channel the golden age of soul with ease. They cover iconic tracks like Let’s Stay Together by Al Green, I’ve Got a Woman by Ray Charles, and Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding. Moreover, they add a fresh twist with modern soul hits from artists such as Pharrell, Beyoncé, and Amy Winehouse.

Whether your taste leans toward James Brown, Aretha Franklin, or Marvin Gaye, The Obsessions deliver a performance that leaves a lasting impression. Not only do they feature both a male and female lead singer, but they’re also backed by six to nine top-tier musicians. As a result, they bring soul magic to life with passion, energy, and unmatched musical skill.

Even better, The Obsessions can adapt to your event’s vibe. The standard 6-piece setup is already a crowd-pleaser. However, you can expand the lineup with an additional vocalist, a horn section, or even a DJ. Because of that flexibility, the party keeps going strong all night long. In the end, one thing is certain: with this band, your event will become a full-on soul celebration.
