The Thurston Howlies
Founding Member of the Thurston Howlies who headlined the Hard Rock Hotel Mondo Tiki event and other tiki events and also the associate producer of the Cherry Capri project. The Thurston Howlies take the sounds of Exotica and Las Vegas lounge and bring them to new heights. Songs range in style from standards and classics to sixties mod… from Brazilia 66 to retro TV commercials.
The Martini Kings
Regular player with the Martini Kings who are Los Angeles’ premiere cocktail band. They play an exotic combination of retro classics, jazzy standards, bossa novas and cool instrumentals from the 1940’s to 1960’s. Their swingin’ instrumental style will create a hip and elegant supper club vibe that is perfect for listening or dancing – sophisticated, but never sleepy!
