About Soul City

CELEBRATING LOVE
Since 1988
Soul City began with a simple belief: great live music brings people together. What started as a group of passionate musicians has grown into one of New England’s longest-running and most respected wedding bands. Through changing musical trends, evolving celebrations, and thousands of unforgettable events, our commitment to exceptional live entertainment has remained the same. Today, Soul City continues to deliver the energy, professionalism, and musicianship that have defined the band for more than 35 years.
FROM ONE LOVE STORY
Soul City’s story became even more personal when lead vocalist Natalie met future husband, Tucker
Antell, through the band. Natalie’s unique experience of the wedding journey from a bride’s
perspective, to becoming bandleader, helped shape each aspect of the Soul City experience. We not
only understand what it takes to create an incredible performance, but what couples also need to feel
confident, supported, and fully present throughout their wedding day.
A HUSBAND AND WIFE OWNED
Today, Soul City is proudly owned and operated by Natalie and Tucker, bringing a hands-on and personal approach to every celebration. As both musicians and wedding professionals, they understand the importance of balancing extraordinary entertainment with seamless execution. Our clients work directly with people who are deeply invested in the success of every event and personally committed to delivering an exceptional experience.
