Santa Barbara's Area 51 has been the most popular club and party band in the area since they formed in 1996. The band's energy and charisma are scintillating. If you seek a band to sit and watch, seek elsewhere — if Area 51 is playing, people are DANCING!

Area 51 has built a strong and varied play list of the now popular “old-school” funk, as well as the best Soul, R&B, Motown, and Disco selections from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Their eight piece lineup includes bass, drums, keyboard, guitar, a horn section to delight and amaze you, and three versatile and charismatic vocalists blending harmonies and leading the front line's choreographed dance moves. Members of Area 51 are also some of the finest Jazz and classical musicians in the area, which allows them to offer the best musical services for your ceremonies, cocktail, and dining sets before the dancing begins. Area 51 will stylize each performance to fit the event. Whether yours is a festival, wedding, or corporate FUNKtion, Area 51 is the choice you won't regret or soon forget!
