Wedding
Center Stage was absolutely incredible!! Our guests could not stop talking about our band and how blown away they were.. Center Stage brought an electric energy that kept the dance floor packed all night long. I really can’t say enough amazing things about this group and can’t thank them enough for helping make our night one we will never forget. Charlotte Austin

Center Stage was electric and rocked the house at my wedding. I had so many guests comment how on how well they played. Great setlist, vocals were amazing, and the musicians were on top of their game. Highly recommend.

Event PlannerCenter Stage Soul is an awesome band! I've known the band leader Jirmad Gordon for over 20 years now. His band has consistently proven to be professional, reliable, and more than willing to go above and beyond what is asked of them in order to provide me with the highest quality live music for all of my events!
For the past two years, I've contracted Center Stage Soul to be the backing band for all the artists at my African Entertainment Awards show held in Elizabeth, NJ. There were a ton of songs that the band needed to learn in a very short time span and they not only learned all of the material but they also created backing tracks for the artist as well, which I understand from a technical standpoint requires a great deal of additional work. The band was outstanding and made sure that all of my artists gave their best performance.
Center Stage Soul is my go to band for all of my live music events and I highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking the highest quality in live music and performance!

Event PlannerI've had a close working relationship with both Jirmad Gordon and Omar Benders of Center Stage Soul for several years now and I have nothing but great things to say about these young men!
I have contracted them on a number of my special events and they have always been reliable, professional, while consistently delivering a dynamic performance for my guests, helping to make my events a huge success!
I've worked with many bands in my career as a promoter/event coordinator and they are without a doubt among the best!
If your looking for Elite talent and a world class performance, Center Stage Soul is the band you need!

Event PlannerThe band leader Jirmad Gordon is a former music student of mine. I've watched him grow up to become a fine young man and true professional when it comes to how he handles his business. I recently contracted the band to perform for the owners of my men's day spa Dieci Uomo in Livingston, NJ and they delivered a fantastic performance. All of the guests had a great time and the owners were highly impressed with them as well! As a longtime veteran in the music business, I've had the experience of working with many bands and Center Stage Soul is one that has truly combined the best in vocal talent as well musicianship! You are guaranteed to have a great time with these guys and your guests will definitely be left wanting to hear and see more!!!!

Event PlannerAfter hearing the sounds of Center Stage Soul Band, I was very impressed. They were very professional during our first official meeting. The band did an outstanding job with their performance. The location of the event was very limited with space, but when they performed, it felt as if we were in Madison Square Garden. The band had such a soulful vibe. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. They were truly incredible!
