Austin Turner is The REAL James Brown!!!
Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, only a stone’s throw from James Brown’s hometown of Augusta, Georgia, Austin stands at 5’6″ just like the man himself. And he’s even the same age as the young James Brown back in the early days…
Austin pays homage to all the James Brown funk and soul classics, while also making them his own. Singer, dancer, and showman extraordinaire, this is a tribute like no other.
Simply stated, there’s nobody else in the world who captures the true spirit of the Godfather of Funk and Soul quite like he can. In fact, he’s the ONLY James Brown tribute artist today who’s constantly moving and dancing, so there’s simply no comparison.
With The “Original” Moonlighters backing him up, and providing an optional Motown Revue opening act, along with “Little Aretha”, the world’s greatest tribute to the ‘Queen of Soul’, they feature one of the tightest horn sections around and some of the finest male and female singers anywhere!!!
Austin and his musicians are fully-equipped to travel cross-country and worldwide, currently accepting booking through 2024. So if you’re looking for the truest tribute of all, it’s The REAL James Brown…
“James Brown takes over my entire being whenever I hit that stage. It’s Star Time every time, and I’m the real sho’nuff who soothes the soul and brings the funk!”

“Who is that band??? That’s what all my guests kept asking. We hired all 12 pieces. And their performance just gave me goosebumps from start to finish!”
“This was our 40th Autumn Glory Festival kick-off dinner. The band kept playing, the crowd kept dancing and we had the most positive feedback ever on the entertainment for the kick off dinner.”
“You can stop your search for a professional, rocking, get-’em-up-and-dancing band right now. They exceeded our expectations and kept the party going until the absolute end…”
“The singing. The dancing. The raw energy. The tight band. It’s the total James Brown experience!!! Just like stepping into a time machine. The REAL JB is The REAL Deal, folks!”
