The Impressions Party band comes in various shapes and sizes! The core band is five piece - Bass, Drums, Guitar & Keys fronted by a female vocalist but with plenty of male vocals also - both lead and backing. Add to this a 2 or 3 piece brass section, or some extra vocals, or a 2nd keyboard player. Or maybe take a few players out and have an acoustic duo / trio. Click on an image for more info:
