Motor City Revue: Bringing the Iconic Motown Sound to Life

Over 50 years ago, Detroit gave birth to a musical revolution that forever changed the industry: the Motown sound. Today, the Motor City Revue keeps that legacy alive, transporting audiences back to the golden era of soul with a performance that is as authentic as it is electrifying.

The Motor City Revue is a powerhouse 12-piece band dedicated to capturing the magic of both popular and rare Motown and Stax classics. While many groups cover Motown hits, few go to the lengths this band does to recreate the vocal harmonies, rhythms, and instrumental finesse that defined the original recordings. Motor City Revue was created to offer music lovers an immersive tribute to the artists and songs that shaped a generation.

Get ready to sing along and dance to the timeless hits of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, The Supremes, and so many more. Experience the joy, groove, and heart of Motown with Motor City Revue—where every performance is a celebration of Peace, Love, and Soul!

"I just wanted to thank you for making our wedding truly magical. I cannot even count how many times I was approached at the wedding by people raving about the music. You managed to get everyone, young and old, on the dance floor, and my only complaint is that the dance floor wasn't big enough to hold everyone! You were all professional and vibrant, and you made our wedding not just the run-of-the-mill bland reception, but a captivating show!

Thank you again for everything! I cannot wait to recommend Motor City Revue to friends and family. We definitely plan to come see you play in the future!

Thanks!"
~ Mr. and Mrs. Robinson

I have seen or should I say witnessed your show several times, all at McLoone's and once outdoors in Asbury last summer.   Your show is electrifying and brings sheer pleasure and complete enjoyment to everyone present. The song recreations are amazingly accurate and even more entertaining with the elements you creatively add. 

   The dance floor is packed as such beautiful memories are brought back to life while the feeling of pure joy  prompts everyone to shake their best stuff.😊

   Honestly Layonne, there are other bands or groups that delve into that wonderful Motown Era however none can compare to what you bring to the stage. It’s the truth. 

       May God Bless and bring the entire band back together real soon !!!!!   

                     Best,
