We've performed at 100's of events, (corporate & private).. including weddings, festivals, etc.. Our band is super versatile.. we know what to do and what music to play at each party-event. We show up on time, dress appropriately (according to the event) We're friendly, professional and understand the need to be accommodating and somewhat flexable
For over 25 years "The Steve Nelson ensemble" has been known for creating their unique blend swinging and grooving music for social gatherings, clubs, festivals and private events.. as well as performing at some of the most prestigious fine dining establishments of Northern California.
Usually a nice mix or Jazz, Latin, Brazilian, Blues and Motown
Our band if fairly "self-contained" .. but outdoor events, we do require protection be provided from sun, wind and rain.
