The Irresistibles is an unabashed celebration of American and British Retro-Soul and Rhythm and Blues, performed by a razor sharp 9-piece band.
Featuring some of the top talent in the Twin Cities, The Irresistibles is led by longtime frontman/singer-songwriter and multiple Minnesota Music Award winner Mick Sterling. Also handling the lead singing duties are two very soulful singers and fresh faces in the Twin Cities music scene, Shalo Lee and Cate Fierro. The Irresistibles Horn Section features two of the members of the well regarded Jack Brass Band. The rhythm section for the Irresistibles is the Twin Cities version of Booker T. and the MG's. They call themselves TOBY LEE AND THE HD'S, led by Toby Marshall on Hammond Organ.
The songlist for The Irresistibles consists of selections from Marvin Gaye, Staple Singers, Amy Winehouse, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings, Carole King, James Brown, Otis Redding just to name a few.
Irresistible dance music performed by seasoned professionals who, as you can tell by the picture, clean up pretty damn good if we say so ourselves!
The Irresistibles are a great fit for any festival, corporate event, wedding reception, or club. Recognizable songs. Undeniable grooves. Terrific showmanship.
