We play Vocal Jazz from "The Great American Songbook". The professionalism, versatility and experience of the musicians I work with enables us to "tailor" our performance to any venue, large or small. We include a wide variety of styles to suit the tastes of any demographic. We've brought this show to numerous and varied venues around NV and CA, including the Rolling On The River & Lazy 5 concert series in Reno and regular appearances at the Cache Creek Casino in Brooks, CA, among other major venues! My band consists of only the finest musicians in the western US, all with extensive professional musical credits of the highest caliber.
