Their musical twists, witty audience interactions, and accompanying DJ leaves nobody left out, and keeps the dance floor packed. Your wedding will remembered and talked about forever!
Experience
Vance Alexander and Anthony Blaine have played more than 300 shows together since 2013, taking the wedding and corporate world by storm. And with the new addition of their charismatic host DJ Yaya, business has only increased during the economic recession. They performed in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2016 to represent Canada in the World Petroleum Congress Convention, and they were nominated in 2017 at the Calgary Event Awards for Best Entertainment.
Some recent clients include the City of Calgary, Tourism Calgary, The Calgary Zoo, Calgary White Hat Awards, Pace-kids, Walk-A-Mile, A Taste of Calgary, The Banff Centre, The Fairmont Banff Springs, Chateau Lake Louise, Audi Calgary, The Lions Club, and Heritage Park.

Canmore Wedding
One of the best investments made for our Canmore wedding. Their service made the reception that much better and fun. Professional and flexible. We had smaller venue and the band made it work nicely. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Wow! What an amazing job Vance & Tony did! Everyone sitting at their table had a blast chatting with them, they absolutely ROCKED every song, and kept all of our guests dancing the night away. Our day would not have been as much fun as it was without them. Thank you guys - you rock! :)

The compliment we get most about our wedding is about the band. We first heard New Soul Duo by chance at a pub they were playing at. We had so much fun listening and dancing to them and loved their energy. We knew we wanted them for our wedding. That same night we made the arrangements in person and the process was a breeze. When they played our wedding our guests were blown away by their talent and great set lists. People had fun and for us that was all that mattered, New Soul Duo made that happen. They are really nice guys, easy to deal with And made life easier for us. I would recommend them to anyone for any event. You will NOT be disappointed.

The BEST Wedding Entertainers
NSD was phenomenal! We had lots of fun with them, and our reception was so memorable because of their great talent and contagious energy that kept our guests (and myself) dancing all night long. Despite the space provided to them being quite small, they managed to pull it off and performed like they had all the space in the world. My guests were so impressed with them! They're very accommodating with my specific playlist request and I'm so happy we hired NSD for our wedding. Wouldn't have had it any other way! Thanks a lot, DJ Yaya, Vance and Tony!

Hi Corinne and Mark! Thank you so much for your kind review. We had a fantastic time at your wedding, and it was absolutely beautiful! We won’t forget the beautifully choreographed dance to “Dahil Sayo” either! We hope you two are doing well and maybe we will see you again someday, at one of our gigs perhaps? All the best! - New Soul Duo & DJ Yaya
