About the Norman Sylvester Band

Known as one of the most engaging showmen around the Pacific Northwest, Norman can be found playing weddings, festivals, corporate parties and club venues with his group, the Norman Sylvester Band, in and around the Portland metro area. Influenced from his Southern Baptist early years and the Gospel Quartet his father toured with, Norman shares these references in his live show and shares his passion for his Louisiana roots with every crowd.
