What to expect

JacoMello released their debut album “ElectrO’side” on March 13th, 2026. The album has been distributed worldwide on major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube. It was recorded at Emerald Age Recording Studio and is the band’s first album.
From the bluesy funk feel of “Ruff and Tuff” to the Bossa Nova inspired track, “Samba Stank”; each song is an invitation to wander through a vibrant musical landscape where no two tracks sound alike—proof of a band unafraid to explore, experiment, and express.

The band tailors their performance to the environment with a setlist that includes hours of live musical performance. The instrumental band can play everything from an intimate "unplugged" location, to a fully backlined venue and as a backing band for touring artists.
Our music is great for ambiance in dining or social situations, and the band can surely "turn it up" to get everyone dancing and having fun.

About

From the shores of Oceanside, CA, JacoMello emerges as a sonic alchemist, blending reggae’s laid-back pulse, jazz’s improvisational soul, blues’ raw emotion, funk’s infectious groove, and the gentle sway of bossa nova into a genre-defying brew they proudly call ACID JAZZ.
Jaco Mello crafts music that feels both timeless and fresh, familiar yet unpredictable. Their sound dances between genres like a late-night jam session under the stars, where spontaneity meets mastery.
