Modern Vintage Live Music

We never play anything the same way once….

Live music can be a very eclectic mix.

Surf punk meets rock meets soul meets…jazz. It’s not canned. And it’s not Kenny G. or Spyro Gyra. It’s not the usual pap, either.

It’s Lynyrd Skynyrd…and Cole Porter. And it’s all swing to us.

It’s mostly vintage, but not the least bit old-fashioned. Nostalgic and contemporary overtones, undertones, passing tones and inner voices are woven into a fabric of spontaneous, in-the-moment re-mixes.

It is at once wonderfully complex and also simple, pure and extraordinarily understated. Even at its most innovative and experimental, it’s happily familiar. We call it “modern vintage.”

When the world gets crazy, good music is more important than ever.
