Welcome
BTEG provides live bands for special events across the tristate area. We specialize in jazz, soul, RnB, Old School and Contemporary dance music. Since being founded in 2010 by pianist and band leader Luke Carlos O’Reilly, we have worked extensively with The United Way, The Coalition of 100 Black Women, The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, BlackStar Film Festival and many other companies and foundations. Our band members have worked with the likes of John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Babyface, Neo, MusiqSoulchild, Nicholas Payton, Billy Paul and many more of today’s top artists.
OUR
GOAL
Our number one goal is to provide your event with stylish and sophisticated musical entertainment. We have bands for any event size. For a small event, we can provide anywhere from a solo pianist to a small jazz combo. If you are having a larger event and need high impact entertainment, we can give you our full 11-piece dance band that is sure to get everyone movin’ and groovin’. Small or large, your event deserves the best musical entertainment available.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Say
“Luke’s band put on an incredible show at our wedding! They got everyone out on the dance floor and moving. Every guest I talked to afterwards wanted to know who they were and where they could hear them live again. On top of that, Luke was great to work with. He understood the kind of funk and soul we were looking for right away, and was accommodating and helpful when it came to arranging a performance in a non-standard venue. I’d hire him and the band again in a heartbeat.”

“Luke and BTEG have provided music for our annual film festival closing every year since 2014. The musicians he brings with him are excellent and we feel very confident having him as our musical director. We treasure the relationship BlackStar has with BTEG and look forward to using their services again in the future”

“Working with Black Tie Entertainment Group is an absolute pleasure. They always provide exceptional entertainment for all of our events. These professional musicians show up on time and ready to transform our events through sound. I highly recommend me them for corporate and non-profit events.”

“We are really lucky, happy and glad to have Luke Carlos O’Reilly and Black Tie Entertainment be part of our annual fundraiser for the past 4 years. Their performances at our Blitz, Bow-Ties & Bourbon galas have been nothing short of outstanding – having the ability to create the mood and ambiance that we were looking for – keeping the air filled with soulful sounds that our guests enjoyed. Luke is all heart! You can tell he thoroughly enjoys every minute of every song and every set. Their sound was superb and the crowd loved every song played. What sets them apart, is not only their sound but Luke is the consummate professional – easy to work with, having ability to listen and response to our needs. I would highly recommend Luke Carlos O’Reilly & Black Tie Entertainment for your next event. Long may you continue to perform and provide enjoyment for your audiences! – Gwendolyn V. Jenkins, President of The Malcolm Jenkins Foundation”
