The band has a history of performing in notable venues throughout the New York area and is preferred by many of the area's top caterers and event planners. When event planners have their pick of the best bands for their own personal events, they choose Naked Soul. Other high-profile clients include some of the most recognizable organizations such as PepsiCo, Yale University, INDEED, Coca-Cola, Madison Square Garden, NY Rangers, NY Knicks, RCF USA, FUSE TV, Chase Bank, UBS, KPMG, Trinity Wall Street, Condé Nast, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and the Greenwich International Film Festival.
​
At the heart of the band is an extremely tight rhythm section (guitar, keys, bass, drums) with a history of working together for many years. A strong musical foundation accented by two funky horns (tenor sax & trumpet), an exciting percussionist and five dynamic vocalists, this distinctive line-up enables Naked Soul to deliver an incredibly wide-ranging repertoire. From The Beatles to Bruno Mars, the band covers a broad range of musical genres including Jazz, Swing, Rock, Soul, Disco, Funk, Pop, EDM and R&B. In a time when "track bands" have become prevalent due to lack of musical diversity, this talented group of musicians always performs completely live and without assistance from karaoke tracks or computers.
Naked Soul has been voted "Best Live Band" by the readers of Westchester Magazine for 11 consecutive years (!) running (2014 - 2024) and was also featured on the cover of Westchester Magazine's annual "Best of Westchester" edition in July 2019! Furthermore, Perrone Bros. Entertainment easily owes their 5 STAR rating on Wedding Wire and The Knot to this incredible group of musicians.
With every high-energy performance, Naked Soul proves that live music can simultaneously provide a festive yet elegant atmosphere. With such a high caliber group of experienced musicians, it's no surprise that this band knows how to get the party started and keep guests on the dance floor all night long. It is for this reason that they’ve often been described as “the life of the party”!
