This band is wonderful. We had a wide range of ages and musical tastes at our party. The guys made sure everyone was having a good time. I have been attending jazz and blues festivals for the past 40 yrs and found this band to be one of the best.
The Speakeasies are the perfect band to serve as either a soothing backdrop for an intimate evening with friends (soft acoustic jazz, 30's and 40's swing) or a sultry soundtrack of classic Soul and Blues from the 50's and 60's.
Comprised of some of the top jazz and world musicians in the San Francisco and North California area, The Speakeasies set themselves apart from other bands in their stylistic versatility and ability to adapt to your specific taste, budget, volume and space limitations. In any configuration, ranging in size anywhere from duo to sextet, the band retains its sense of elegance and class that guarantees your event's performance to feel timeless.
We have a very extensive repertoire in multiple genres, but are happy to fulfill any specific song request for your special evening. We can also try to emulate a particular recording that you love, or even accompany one of your party's guests in performing a prepared piece! We specialize in adding a personal touch, customizing each performance to best fit the mood while retaining our vintage look (retro suits, double-bass, vintage microphone).
