About Soulsystem Orchestras

SOULSYSTEM! Elegantly Hip!

New York City-based Soulsystem Orchestras can bring the rock to your wedding music. This multi-band group was founded in 1997 by Rob Affuso, the former drummer of heavy metal band, Skid Row. The bands define themselves as being “elegantly hip”. Since heavy metal isn't exactly the first style of music that comes to most couples’ minds for their special day, Soulsystem has an impressive roster of jazz, swing, hip-hop, R&B, and of course, rock songs.

Services Offered

My advice would be to book Soulsystem as soon as you can. We visited showcase for many other bands and Soulsystem was head and shoulders above the rest. Rob was accommodating, responsive and overall a pleasure to deal with. He delivered on every promise and the vibe that the band set for our wedding was better than we could've ever imagined. This band is worth every penny and more. We literally received a dozen requests for the band's info after our reception and the dance floor was packed all night. Hats off to Soulsystem for a job well done.

My husband and I (and our entire wedding) could not have loved Soul System Orchestras more! They were absolutely amazing and made our wedding. Countless guests came up to us both at the wedding, and after, saying that this was the best band they ever heard! Rob was amazing and worked with me through our entire vision and helped answer every question I had! It was such an amazing experience and I HIGHLY recommend them for an amazing night!
