Specialties

Imagine dancing to the great pop classics of Sinatra like «Fly Me to the Moon» and «The Way You Look Tonight,» all in their original arrangements.

Get shakin’ to the classic rock tunes from the Fifties like «Runaround Sue» and «Rock Around the Clock.»

The night wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Motown in the Sixties and our revved-​up version of «Respect,» «Signed, Sealed, Delivered» and the Jackson Five’s «I Want You Back.»

Don’t forget those great Disco hits of the Seventies — remember «September,» «I Will Survive» and «Last Dance.»

Cap off your event with the new party classics of the Eighties and Nineties — «Lady Marmalade,» «Love Shack,» «Express Yourself,» «Man, I Feel Like a Woman,» «She Bangs» and «Smooth.»

Your guests can’t resist dancing to the authentic sounds of every decade and music genre, delivered with an energetic style that puts them in the mood to celebrate.

History

Established in 1990.

Rich Martini has led the group for the past fifteen years. It is easy to see why clients have been charmed by his easy manner and professional attitude; his way of treating each event as if it were his own party and he were the host. With a background in music performance and directing, this Cal Berkeley Business Graduate has built a reputation as leading one of the finest party bands in the Bay Area.

Rich is interested in creating the perfect musical evening, whether an intimate solo piano, subtle background trio or full 17 piece orchestra (or a combination of them all). The band’s versatility allows you to focus on an era, theme or a combination of both to accommodate all your guests, regardless of their age or taste — something for everyone.
