North of Trouble brings the timeless spirit of soul, funk, blues, and feel-good rock to every stage. We play the songs that move people—the kind that fill dance floors, spark singalongs, and keep the good vibes flowing all night long.

From the unmistakable grooves of Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, and Otis Redding to the timeless classics of Curtis Mayfield, Sly & The Family Stone, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Tom Petty, and beyond, our setlist spans generations while staying rooted in soul.

Based in Boston, North of Trouble is available throughout New England and beyond for the right fit. Whether you’re looking for an intimate solo performance, a laid-back duo, a versatile trio, or a full-band experience, we’ll tailor the music to your event.

We’ve brought the soundtrack to restaurants, breweries, clubs, weddings, private parties, corporate events, festivals, and community celebrations. Wherever people gather, our goal is simple: create an unforgettable atmosphere through great songs, great musicianship, and genuine connection.

If you’re looking for live music with heart, groove, and soul, we’d love to be part of your next event. Get North of Trouble on your calendar—we’d be grateful to make some music with you.
