Once my band is booked it never cancels or is late for an event. In fact we like getting there early, set up and be ready to play when you are ready. We look at each opportunity to play, provide upbeat modern and classic tunes, and make your event a success.
Happy Minute has been around since 2018. We began at Caffe Chiave in Berkeley and in Oakland. Then along came the Covid 19 Pandemic. We continued playing in driveways, back yards, outdoor venues in the East Bay area. Gregory Jones is the lead singer / guitarist for the band. David Sayen is the bassist and vocalist - and the tallest guy around. Mark Manfredi on drums and vocals. Most often the band is a trio, but has been known to add a fiddle or mandolin player to the lineup.
We have our own stage equipment but direct sun is bad for electronics. Shade would need to be provided by you - or a place out of direct sunlight if we were to be outdoors. We pride ourselves in being a good energy band that is not too loud. We do not bring huge amplifiers and PA equipment to our engagements. We are very self contained and can get by with a small footprint.
