Gig length: 60 - 180 minutes

What to expect

We're a big (10-12 piece) band with horns & percussion. All of our music is original, and it's all danceable with rock, jazz, Latin, Caribbean, African, and other influences. We're kid-friendly with a positive vibe, we provide lots of opportunities for audience participation, and we communicate in English, Spanish, and French.

Additional booking notes

Although we love a situation where lighting & sound are provided, we can be self-sufficient with our own power, PA, and canopy (for outdoor performances). Beyond that, all we need is enough room for a 10-12 piece band.
