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.

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.

Vance, Tony and Aisha were a surprise treat to or guests. We had experienced a night out in Calgary and everyone loved them then as much as they did on our wedding day. Vance was extremely flexible and accommodating in planning the event. They were the easiest of all of our vendors to communicate with. We would reccomend them 11/10.

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.

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.
