Occasionally
acts have been touring as the B.B.& Q. Band. Rick Brennan, formerly
with Change, performed during a 'Tribute To The Funk' concert in Bercy
(Paris) in 2003 pretending to be the frontman of the B.B.& Q. Band.
The 
massive audience went wild but unfortunately the whole show was fake!
At the NYC B.B. King Club in August 2008, artists promoted the B.B.& Q. Band along with G.Q. and Change as a genuine 'reunion' tour. Curiously enough the singer had never been involved with the B.B.& Q. Band. And the irony doesn’t stop here, because the only original player from the B.B.& Q. Band onstage was Chieli Minucci, a former B.B.&Q. Band guitarist who actually never performed live with the B.B.& Q. Band. He was a studio cat who just wrote and recorded for Petrus! Kevin Robinson, the original vocalist for B.B.& Q. Band had a falling out with the show organizers 2 days before, so a new “singer” came in and learned everything at the last minute but he couldn’t sing a lick. There was no comparison what so ever with the original lead vocalist Robinson who simultaneously performed B.B.& Q. Band songs at the Sugar Bar in NYC that evening in August 2008.
Surprisingly, in 2009 the original line-up of the B.B.& Q. Band (photos above) consisting of Kevin Nance, Paris Ford, Dwayne Perdue and Ike Floyd reunited for a live gig on the Ron Alexander Show at the Kraine Theater and on the Soul Legends TV Show in NYC. In 2010 they toured as a part of the "Ol' Skool Throw Down Tour" featuring Evelyn "Champagne" King, B.T. Express, Brass Construction, Machine, B.B.&Q. Band, Johnny Kemp and T-Ski Valley. In 2011 they were guest on the Fox 5 'Good Day New York' morning show and played the Newark Symphony Hall in NYC.
On Saturday 2nd of November 2013 the B.B.&.Q. Band performed live with their orchestra in Lyon (France). Line-up included former members Kevin Robinson, Bernard Davis, Tony Bridges and Kevin Nance.
In November and December of 2019 the B.B.&.Q. Band toured successfully in Europe. They performed in Belgium (Esquelmes-Tournai), Holland (Amsterdam), France (Paris and Lyon) and England (London). Bandmembers were Kevin Robinson, Bernard Davis, Tony Bridges, Percival Prince, Lenny Underwood and Curtis Styles.

On
January 21 of 2021, the single "Gotta Keep Movin' On" was released by
Kevin Robinson on Crystal Eyes Music. The artist is billed as 'Kevin
Robinson From Brooklyn, Bronx & Queens' to be precise. The album The
Legacy followed in Spring 2021.
The funky song "Gotta Keep Movin' On" was co-written by Davide Romani
and Kevin Robinson. Davide Romani arranged the song and Kevin Robinson
produced it. The writing style of Davide Romani cannot be denied. This
is a vintage B.B.& Q. Band composition, evoking catchy 80s
Boogie/Funk in the tradition of the Little Macho Music classics.
Performers on the song are Kevin Robinson (vocals, guitars), Leslie
Lemon (bass guitar), Bernard Davis (drums), Davide Romani (keyboards),
Lenny Underwood (keyboards) and Leslie Lemon (keyboards).
