'GoGo' is a the symbolic unique sound that originates in the nation's capital. The GoGo sound is heavily influenced by Chuck Brown, The Godfather of 'GoGo'. The music is non-stop and addictive. It makes you dance with its pulsating percussive rhythm deeply rooted in urban gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop, Latin jazz and African Benga Congo drums
We covers all genres of music specializing in funk, R&B, 'GoGo' and jazz. FULL band complaint:drummer, percussion, keyboards, bass, guitar, horns, rap lyricist, male and female vocalists.
Raw Deal Band 954 was amazing at our 8th annual back to school and community food giveaway. Everyone loved them. They were just the right band with just the right music for our event. You could easily tell they love what they do...perform, sing, dance, play terrific music, and entertain.

Response from Raw Deal Band 954:
We had a really amazing time. Ronita and family are the best.
We needed a group to perform at a community event. Let's just say this group positively caught me by surprise with how they covered many of my favorite hits. I honestly have never heard of GOGO music, but after hearing this group take a Frank Sinatra and a Maran Morris country song- I am fond of GOGO now. They put a funky beat on the songs that made y0u want to dance all night. It was worth my time. They had the crowd dancing with the interaction. It was fun and amazing.

When you hire our band you will receive one of the hardest working, professional bands in the gig industry. We believe on time is late- so we always show up early. We come with our own sound reinforcement system and a full array of backup instruments. This means a broken drum head or blown speaker will not ruin the event. We offer full camera and video production, stage and lighting and many other music production services (at an additional cost) Need help with marketing and promotions- we can do that as well. We specialize in a funky soulful form of urban R&B called GoGo music. It as an energetic beat driven form of music that doesn't stop in between songs which keeps the party going. However we have the unique ability to play any style of music as requested. This includes country, classic rock, SKA, hip hop- you name it we can play it. We have been called a live DJ with instruments.
