Emerald empire band Was nothing short of perfectly amazing. I still get compliments about how much our guests enjoyed the band. Emmanuel was amazing to work with, and literally handled my crazy so well. I was very particular about a few things in the process because we wanted certain songs that turned out perfectly for our first dance and private dance. They were songs that the band learned specifically for our wedding and we are truly thankful!!! I can’t say it enough. It was beautiful and it was perfect and I keep getting feedback the feedback every day how all of us had such an amazing time! Thank you so much!!! EEB- use them for your wedding (or special event even) you won’t be sorry.

Wow! The Uptown Funk Band really made my husband’s surprise birthday party a huge success and a night to remember. Mr. Woodall and the band was very accommodating and played a lot of 70’s dance music as well as jazz and current music to keep my guests on the dance floor. My husband loved the sax solo and you captured all the great 70’s music that he loves. I could not have asked for a better experience for my husband and guests at the party! All of my guests have been singing praises of how great the band was, and I will definitely use you for all of my future parties. YOU’RE THE GREATEST!

About
Meet North "2unes" Woodall, a jazz guitarist whose stage name promises a musical experience that's nothing short of extraordinary. If I were a betting person, I'd confidently wager that North can play his hind parts off. Feeling lucky? Any takers?
Beyond mere speculation, my confidence stems from firsthand experience. Primarily self-taught, North's musical journey began at the age of eleven when his mom introduced him to the guitar. What followed was a love affair with music that has weathered the test of time and numerous challenges.
In his teenage years, North delved into the playing styles of icons like Ernie Isley, Santana, and Joe Walsh. With hard work, determination, and a natural gift, North's proficiency with the guitar earned him a place in notable groups in and around Dayton, such as The Delvones and Round Trip Ticket.
Hailing from Mississippi but led by the musical currents of Ohio, North followed his internal guide to Atlanta. There, he continued to refine his skills and found his cup overflowing with opportunities to share the stage with funk masters like Lakeside and The Ohio Players, along with Roger Troutman and Zapp, Roy Aires, Millie Jackson, Tom Brown, and Will Downing.
In essence, North "2unes" Woodall's journey is a testament to the transformative power of music, self-discovery, and the pursuit of excellence. With "2unes" as his moniker, expect nothing less than a musical odyssey that transcends boundaries and captivates the soul.
