Moxie went above and beyond for our wedding! They made sure they weren’t too loud during dinner, but then made sure everyone got up and dancing after! We got so many compliments about how great they were. They made our wedding so much more exciting and we couldn’t be happier!

We used Moxie for a nursing home event. Residents, staff and visitors of all ages enjoyed the performance. They arrived early, were well prepared, and put on a great show! We are already planning to use them again for future events.

We finished the second year hiring Moxie to play for our community event. Residents in our community love Moxie. Their musicianship is excellent, voices are superb, but more important, their spirit and wonderful, fun, cheerful, family atmosphere. Their song selection, a combination of 70's Funk, Motown, and Oldies tunes, creates the perfect atmosphere for entertainment and/or dancing. I can't say enough good about Moxie. I'd give them six stars--but there's only five above. So, consider this a Six (6) Star Rating! Now, give them a call. You'll not regret it!

We hired Moxie for my parents 50th wedding anniversary party, and they did not disappoint. They were amazing! Everyone at the party commented how great the band was, and they got people to the dance floor. They have a big sound with a Saxophone, keyboard, drums, bass, guitar, lead singer they knew how to control the volume so it was perfect for our inside venue. They were professional, talented, and a crowd pleaser! If you are looking to make your event memorable, this is the band!

I don't have words to describe the excellence of our experience, not only in music, but with the heart that we experienced with Moxie. Each member of the band seemed delighted to be with us, and that bubbled over onto the people who attended. On this HOT June afternoon, these men and women played their hearts out, smiling, laughing and throwing their excellent music and joy all over the crowd.
When I came into the office on Monday morning, the first words from the staff was, "WE'VE GOT TO GET THEM BACK!" And so, if they're willing, we certainly are.
Thanks to the band members in Moxie for providing a wonderful day for our residents at the City of Albemarle Dept. of Public Housing. The day, thanks to you, was perfect!

What to Expect
Moxie delivers a family-friendly performance that features classic soul, R&B, funk, pop, rock and beach music, from artists like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder, Al Green and Wilson Pickett, to name a few. To mix it up a little, we also throw in some rock numbers, as well as recent soul-inspired hits from artists like Bruno Mars, Megan Trainor, and Pharrell Williams. Our playlist is packed with songs that people know and can sing along with. Whether it's a private party for 50 people or an outdoor festival for several hundred, Moxie puts on a professional show that gets people up and having a good time.
For the event organizer, we are easy to work with and flexible in fitting the music in with other activities that might be planned. We are punctual about starting and stopping times and dress appropriately for the occasion. And we are sensitive to keeping the volume at a level appropriate for the audience and the venue.
