Overview

We are a singer songwriter trio, but we can also play as a duo. Our original music crosses folk and rock, jazz, blues and indie genres. Great harmonies, interesting lyrics, sung with passion and playfulness. For gatherings, we offer our originals and can weave in some covers and chat with you about the vibe of your gathering to get a sense of whether you prefer a jazzier set, more danceable, more folk, et cetera. Guitars, bass and percussion are our core. Check out our FB page for some of our sound: (link hidden) and our webpage for a little more info on us: (link hidden). We're based in the SF Bay Area.

What to expect

We have played fundraisers and parties, indoors and outdoors. We work with you to figure out the amount of time you would like us to play, and the genres or the general mood that you want the music to create. We are happy to blend covers with our original music; it's up to you to choose how much of each you prefer. If you want the music to be more in the background or more prominent, we will adjust accordingly. Let us know what your goals are from our participation.

About

Elise and Steve are an SF Bay Area Indie, Folk, Singer-Songwriter trio that bring a beautiful, distinctive sound to their original music (and covers!). Some upbeat tunes, jazzy, rocky, along with more of a folk and Americana feel, their musical variety, lyrics and vocals keep you interested. Elise and Steve play as a trio with their great percussionist, Dan Garvin, or as a duo. Steve has played with blues, americana and indie bands for several decades, Elise has written and sung since she was a kid in Topanga Canyon, and Dan has played percussion for decades across different musical styles.

Additional booking notes

We need access to a power source for amplification, however light, and we can support by bringing our own PA system. We would hope to see the venue ahead of time (even just via photos) to determine set up with you.
