InsideOut Band is a group of professional musicians from Richmond Va., performing in Virginia, North Carolina, Washington D.C., Maryland, and West Virginia for many years. Some InsideOut members have performed across the United States and abroad including Ireland and Cancun.

InsideOut Band’s musical influences include Chicago, Tower of Power, Blood Sweat and Tears, Earth Wind & Fire, and Kool and the Gang. Also artists like Michaell Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Luther Vandross, Prince, the Time, and too many more to list.

Having both female and male lead singers offers InsideOut the opportunity to play a wider range of material. Additionally, it doesn’t hurt to have two more lead singers who also play instruments. In all, four lead vocalists add to great harmonies as well as lead vocals.

Add to the vocals the explosive horn section, playing sectional lines like in Make Me Smile to Tower of Power’s Diggin on James Brown, it is a powerful combination. The Horn section consists of four horns, Trumpet, Trombone Baritone, and Tenor Sax, and gives InsideOut the diversity to play lots of different styles from jazz, swing, and R&B to funk and more.
