Jon specializes in Swing music, that great american art form from the early 20th century. This singer/multi-instrumentalists don’t consider it a relic though, and inhabit the music as if they just stepped out of a time machine. This is not a museum piece, but a living, swinging beat. Modern vintage he prefers to think of it. Blending in Americana and the music of Django and the Hot Club of France, you experience this fun, romantic, lively blend of cowboy bebop and gypsy swing. Jon has performed with a long list of who’s who, and you can find him performing somewhere or other almost every week of the year.

Peter Marin sings the standards in the Great American Songbook with the verve and depth of a jazz singer who was good enough to begin working Los Angeles-area nightclubs professionally as a teen. A protégé of the late, great Andy Williams, Marin was likewise schooled by the legendary Johnny Profit.

Lizzi and her poised and professional band bring new contemporary life to jazz standards from a time gone by.

The Lizzi Trumbore group varies in instrumentation, determined by what is best for each individual client and event. Do you know that you want a jazz singer but don't quite know what type of ensemble you want? No problem! Lizzi can work with you to see what type of group would be best suited for you and your event. These ensemble variations can span anywhere from an intimate and mellow duo setting, to a full-sized jazz combo complete with a kickin' horn section to add some added pizazz to your party! “Lizzi's pursuit of an older art form in a newer age allows for a progressive perspective, making it accessible and entertaining to the masses without compromising its integrity."

I love singing alternative, singer/songwriter, and some folk-style music. I've played in front of large crowds before (100 people) and small ones too (my family and friends!) and anywhere in between is good too. The longest set that I sang was 40 min and we played a combination of original songs and covers! Some of the artists I covered were: Kings of Leon, Imagine Dragons, The Civil Wars, Everclear, and The Neighbourhood.

My goal is to make a difference in peoples lives through music. I love to see smiles on peoples faces when I sing because I am not only making them happy, but it boosts my energy to perform. I play a lot of pop music with a hint of jazz, more like R&B pop. When I play covers, I like to personalize the it to make it more genuine for me and the audience. I also write original music about life and love. ----- Let's Connect! brandonfongmusic.com youtube.com/TheFongBoy instagram.com/BrandonMFong Twitter.com/BrandonMFong Soundcloud.com/fondboy BF
