Chuck Allen, bass and vocals
Roy Swan, guitar
Nice and Easy is a couple of veteran players - just guitar, bass, and vocals - laying down jazz standards and a few recent tunes. We have an extensive song list and take requests. Generally designed to be on the quiet side, we can fit into any event without taking over. You'll probably hear echoes of Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella, Billy Holiday, Michael Buble, Olivia Dean and others, played simply and tastefully.

It's an upbeat jazz show - we tend to leave out the downer tunes - like you might have experienced sitting in a lounge in LA back in the day. We're quiet but fun.
Primarily a two-piece stripped down experience, we can flex into bigger formations as required. We draw on our established relationships with many talented performers from the San Diego area.
We provide a pro PA system, a little tasteful lighting, with extra features like a handheld wireless mic for your personal announcements. We listen and work with you to provide what's needed when it's needed.
Nice and Easy are Roy Swan on guitar and Chuck Allen on bass and vocals. We swing the choicest of jazz standards, bossa nova, and a few new tunes to keep 'em guessing. The songs are simple and direct, with echoes of Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ella, Olivia Dean, and others.
As long as we have a single 20 amp circuit available, we can provide the cabling necessary for power distribution in the stage area.

Vocalists like: Sinatra, Ella, Nat King Cole, Billy Holiday, Chet Baker. Songwriters like Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Harold Arlen, Irving Berlin, Gershwin. And a healthy helping of bossa nova to finish things up.
