Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We ask you what is your vision for your event? Then we listen to your response and we work diligently to create the kind of experience that will make your vision of your event even more special. The Blue Breeze Band is an experience and not just another band!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Having 35 years of significant experience working on and off the stage as a professional guitarist Harold decided just over 15 years ago to start his own band. The BLUE BREEZE BAND specializes in providing concert quality "Motown R&B Soul Funk Contemporary Hits and Jazz & Blues" music that caters to Conferences, Corporate Events, Fundraisers, Weddings, Associations/Organizations, Concerts, Festivals and Private Parties throughout southern & central California. During those 15 years Harold performed for former president Bill Clinton, entertained our military troops in Okinawa Japan and appeared as a musician in the Warner Bros. feature film.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I believe that No two events are the same!
We have to factor into our pricing the following items:
- The Size of the Band (6, 7, 8, 9, 10 piece band)
- Number of hours, (including breaks), the band is to perform
- Number of people attending the event
- The Event Start and End times
- Sometimes the Travelling distance to the event
How did you get started in this business?
BACKGROUND:
Harold’s stylistically wide-range and soulful guitar playing have a unique way of catching the collective ear. During his formative years, Harold was influenced by a steady diet of R&B, blues and jazz on the club scene in Los Angeles, and he, himself, has contributed immeasurably to that very scene as a professional musician. As a teenager he backed soul/R&B singer Bobby Byrd (Day) (writer of “Rockin Robin” & "Little Bitty Pretty One"); later he backed jazz/blues saxophonist “Big Joe Burrell” and “Joe Houston”, and during the Vancouver Island Music-Fest performed side by side with blues icon “Sonny Rhodes.”
As the band developed I added some of southern California's finest musicians and vocalist. Members of the Blue Breeze Band have worked, toured and/or recorded with the following Artist:
Lakeside - The Gap Band - Marvin Gaye - Tina Marie - The Brothers Johnson - Evelyn Champagne King - Edgar Winter - L.T.D. - Loose Ends (British R&B Soul Band)

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Simply put, the Blue Breeze Band is amazing!
Working with Harold and the band was so easy and enjoyable and they were incredibly helpful and patient throughout the whole process. The band made our ceremony and first dance extra meaningful and really brought the funk for the reception. All of our guests absolutely raved about the Blue Breeze Band and they're still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. Our wedding planner may have summed it up best when she told us: "I am not sure I have EVER seen that amount of energy on a dance floor, ever." My husband and I agree that our wedding weekend was the best weekend of our lives, and the Blue Breeze Band played such a large part in making it so special.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would like to remind people that when it comes to hiring professional Live Music Entertainment... you get what you pay for! Having a decent size budget set aside for professional Live Music is a must, (if possible, before you contact us). Please include us when you first sit down and begin planning your event. WHY... because in most cases what people will remember the most about the social part of your event is... the Live Music! ... How the Live BAND was on Fire performing some Amazing Music!!💥💥💥
