Garces and Gaetani

Based upon your event's unique requirements, we'll perform 1-3 set of traditional jazz instrumentals while sprinkling in a few jazz vocal standards per set. We find the instrumental songs from Django Reinhard and Antonio Carlos Jobim create a really unique atmosphere and round out the sounds of American jazz standard per from artists like Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole. We will then transition to sing & perform 1-3 sets of classic rock and pop songs from artistis like Fleetwood Mac, Bob Marley, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Cash etc. Based upon your request and reading the audience, we can balance the pop set with more Americana vs Pop songs. We can add additional musicians to the band upon request.
