3B Blues Band
- Siloam Springs, AR
- Country Band
- Travels up to 90 miles
- We work within your music budget, $500-$1500
Overview
Don't let the word "Blues" in our name fool you. We perform an ever expanding variety of songs and love the sound of modern country dance music and can play a 2 hour set of country dance songs and we mix in a variety of other styles for a 3 or 4 hour event.
We perform as a 4 piece and feature singer Scott who plays a compact 3B Hammond Organ and his rhythm Guitar at the same time. This keeps the band affordable with a small footprint for house type parties.
For weddings, we like to add an additional MC type singer and a sax. We can fit in a tight area with a smaller PA system and expand the system with an equally easy setup for larger events. We prefer payment in person at the event.

3B Blues Band was an excellent addition to our event. They are talented, professional, and easy to work with. Our audience loved their music. I highly recommend them.

Scott and Carlos showed up as a duo and provided an amazing atmosphere for our small gathering. Arrived early, were super professional, and even jammed a little longer! Would highly recommend!

We hired the band for an event at a private club. They were great. The dance floor was filled and everyone was raving about them. Their pricing was very competitive. So glad we hired them.

I hired 3B Blues Band for my dads 50th birthday party as a present to him. I haven’t seen my dad this happy in long time. My party was located on a private property in Big Bear Mountain, they were willing to drive there for the event. Even with the band playing half hour less of what we had planned they put on a hell of a show. We plan to hire them again in the near future.
Saw Scott and the guys in LA and they put on a great show with authentic blues. Band puts on a funky groove and dedicated to the Blues.

I booked the group for my dad's surprise 85th birthday party. They arrived in plenty of time to setup and be ready to start exactly on time. My dad and everyone in attendance truly enjoyed their music.
The guys are very nice a friendly.

Talk about life of the party. I was fortunate enough to celebrate my 30th birthday this year. And for my party my wife had discovered the musical stylings of The 3B Blues band. Whether they're playing for a crowd of a thousand or a crowd of 30, these boys are tried, true, and blue "Players". I was just complimented twice today about the blues band that I had at my party last month. (Sorry for the review delay fellas). That means a month later, the raw, soulful sounds reminiscent of Ol' Chicago, Mississippi and Louisiana still resonate throughout our little Southern California neighborhood. Blues music is America's classical music and the 3B blues band knows how to do it right.

This band brought the party to life. I have read the reviews and had really high expectations. They exceeded my expectations easily. Their music was enjoyed by our seniors, the adult sons and daughters and the very young grandchildren. Their appeal is universal. Arranging the gig was a very easy and professional transaction. I highly recommend this band. I also plan to use them again for future events.

Saw these cats at Hinano cafe in Venice last. Sounded great. Great show
Blues Band
These boys were fantastic!!! They responded very quickly and were easy to get a hold of. They were willing to work within our budget and tailored the music to our specific event. They had our party goers out of their seats and dancing in no time. 3B had a great presence and engaged the audience. I would definitely have them back. They made our Mardi Gras event the most memorable party in years! You should definitely hire this band. You won't be disappointed!

What to Expect
On hammond 3B organ, vocals and guitar is Scott Hrebek and also on some videos is our late great drummer singer Louis Guillory. The high energy harmonica, vocalist, front man Jumping Jack Benny is not with us here but is on some video clips, recorded while still on the west coast. We work within a reasonable budget to bring you the best entertainment. Now in NWA and the Tulsa area, we have expanded the sound to include a variety of the Modern Country. 3B started as a premier blues, NOLA funk band based in LA and we have our own unique sound with our 4 piece lineup which blends Hammond 3B Organ sounds with funky rhythms and greasy guitar & can add or substitute additional musicians as needed for variety. Check our reviews. 3B has been called for many repeat events and will setup sound equipment and lighting at least an hour before and we dress appropriately. 3B plays at a sound level where guests dance up close, but can also still mingle and talk. We are flexible on fees depending on your budget, location, time, preferred style of music, music budget and musician availability. The typical gig fees range from $50-100 per musician per hour with a minimum of 2 hours. We do NOT accept payment in advance using Gigsalad button for booking and payment. We prefer payment in person at the event. When booked, we email you a Performance Agreement and Invoice. We pay Gigsalad booking fees and they stay in touch with both of us, giving helpful reminders as the date gets closer. On last minute bookings we typically won't ask for a deposit.
Thank you for using Gigsalad and supporting live music.

REVIEWS:
1) OMG!!! Attended my sons 30th birthday party, this bands vibe was so smooth, I hated for it to end, and I'm still getting complements. This band will definitely be in my little black book for future parties and get togethers. what a great group of guys.
2)"The 3B Band made our wedding reception a huge success. Everyone wanted to know, "Where did you find these guys?" and our wedding photographer told me that this was the best wedding band he had ever heard. Not only would I highly recommend these guys for any function, party, festival or celebration, I highly recommend checking them out whenever you can find them playing gigs around town. They really know how to work the crowd. They were so personable and friendly through the whole experience, I feel like I have my own personal blues band and friends for life. Thanks Louis and Scott for making my wedding so special."
3) "The 3B Band made our community event a total success. We love them and highly recommend them to others. " "I think they offer the best bang for the buck. They're very enthusiastic and are very accommodating to requests. It's also nice to see people really enjoying what they do and enjoy being at your event. They performed at our neighborhood block party and I would recommend them for any kind of event where you need music that appeals to a broad age group."
4) "The band exceeded all expectations!!!! This band should be performing in Night Clubs...I'm surprised they were available. Can't wait until we have our next party. All my guests were very impressed. Thanks again for a memorable time."
5) "The Band was awesome, They even arrived early. They are the best Blues Band I've heard. They even let my friend play his harmonica with them on stage. Wow!!! 10 Thumbs up!!"
Additional Booking Notes
A quick easy set up with the newest and greatest award winning sound equipment. Low wattage LED lighting for dance floor & band area. We can play to outdoor and larger halls or smaller spaces with volume conscious dinner guests and can use our plexiglass sound dampers for minimizing guitar amp sound level beaming out at tables. We prefer two 20A electrical receptacles and 15-20 ft of space but can also squeeze in tight areas where needed.
