About The Band Itself

While there are only 3 of us, we bring a much bigger and complete band sound. We became South Canal Street Band (SCS) to give you a dance band, bringing songs mostly from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, including Motown, Funk, Soul, Rock, Pop and Country and much more. Our motto is “Music That Takes You Back”, so you will probably know every song we play. South Canal Street believes music, dance and songs speak a universal language to all people and we are passionate to share our music with everyone. We want you to come join us in expressing your love of music and our songs by dancing, singing along, or just listening to partake in the fun, energy, and enjoyment we strive to give you each and every time we play. We love what we are doing and we always want to make your experience with us the best it can be.

We added these videos to give you an idea of how we sound live. No audio editing, this is just how we sound live.

Thank you so much for all your support and know that without you, our fans, our playing would not be the same! We appreciate each and every one of you!
