Recent Clients

Stax City Band has performed for these clients:

Stax City I wish I could give more than 5 stars. From the first song everyone was up on the floor dancing. All members are

amazing musicians and you cannot go wrong with a fantastic horn section. Cliff and the boys turned up early and were

ready to go right on time. They were very respectful of our event and asked how we would like the night to flow.

Willard is a wonderful front man with a great voice. The set list was perfect for our crowd. I looked around and saw

my 76 year old neighbor dancing with my 26 year old coworker. I received so many calls and emails the next day

saying how fantastic they were. I think they even got a private booking out of it. It was a magical night, people had a

great time and I'm already looking forward to taking a crowd to see them perform again. I cannot thank them enough

for making our event a huge success.

*Great experience. Very professional.Reviewer: Bill Myers, Funky Fridays

*Stax City review:Michael Abbott Sun City Lincoln Hills

Last evening we attended the latest outdoor amphitheater concert here at SCLH. The Band played a wide selection of mostly R&* style music based on the old Stax label. We were reminded of the Tower of Power with the tight arrangement s, extraordinary music ship, and strong vocals. And like the best tribute bands, this group played familiar tunes but put their own distinctive stamp on each one, The crowd was enthusiastic to sat the least---whats not to like?
