Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
37 years
What is your primary product or service?
live music
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Musicians study for many years, it's a labor of love. If a player puts in the time and effort to become a good musician we feel it should be appreciated and rewarded.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are owned and operated by working musicians, the owner and myself. We only do live music and do not offer DJs (canned music). I have a long history in the restaurant business and have done events from that end as well as the music end. I really know how to coordinate live music at events. We are extremely attentive to our clients and will help as much or as little as they desire.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have an office, our musicians come from all around the Bay Area.
