Live Music by The Black Diamond Band

The Black Diamond Band is an elite live music experience specializing in weddings, private events & dance parties. The Black Diamond Band was born in 2014 when Christian Smalls, Tony Cobin, Shelton Desaussure, & Paul Quattlebaum all met while performing together at Mister B’s in downtown Charleston. In 2018, the band recruited lead guitarist Greg Loney, one of Charleston’s finest jazz influenced guitar players. The band has brought together their many influences and inspirations ranging from pop, soul, funk, jazz, & blues to create an exciting experience that continues to delight crowds in Charleston and beyond. The recent addition of keyboard player, Richard Harris White, Jr. and AJ Jenkins on drums/vocals, has brought a new & unique dimension to the Black Diamond band.
