Motown Throwdown

Motown Throwdown is a powerhouse soul band steeped in the traditions of soul, funk, pop, rock, R&B, and jazz. The 5-piece funk machine consists of siren Aisha Kenyetta, sax-man and vocalist Mike Quinn, guitarist Dave Grimm, Stuart White on drums and the inimitable Corey Stephens on bass. With roots in the soul tradition of Motown, the Throwdown often defies genres or category, exploding into improvisation. Starting with the 5 piece, you can build a band of up to 15+ pieces, customizable to any event or budget.

Motown Throwdown isn’t just a cover band — we’re a groove-driven live music experience. Built on the soul of Motown, funk, and R&B, we bring real horn power, real musicianship, and real dance-floor energy to every event. Punctuated by thrilling horn solos and expert guitar riffs, our performances engage the audience on a whole new level. With a weekly residency at Charleston Pour House, we stay sharp, dynamic, and performance-first. We don’t rely on backing tracks or safe setlists — we read the room and build unforgettable momentum. For couples who want sweat, soul, and a packed dance floor, we don’t just play the party — we create it.
