Americano Social Club Jazz Band from San Francisco, CA

The Americano Social Club is led by Michael Zisman on mandolin/vocals and features guitarist/vocalist Jason Vanderford and bassist Joe Kyle Jr. We play music for "la dolce vita": a mix of romantic and eclectic melodies from all over the world. At our performances you might hear Pop, Jazz or Folk, Classical, Rock, or Opera, the music of Brazil or of Europe's cafes, (not to mention some of our own dramatic original pieces); and all of it re-imagined so you will hear the melodies you love (or didn't know you loved) like new again. We play at lots of events, weddings, and parties, many of them for "high profile" clients and we love to and create a fun atmosphere for people to relax and celebrate in. Our music is both interesting enough to engage listeners and light enough to serve as a soundtrack for your guests interactions. Our group sound is always transparent so guests can have a normal conversation right in front of the band and hear each other clearly. Since our music is both "new" and "familiar" we will reach the audiences that have "heard it all before" and make sure they remember your special event. Last year has been a busy one for us playing at many events from Anne Hathaway's wedding, parties for Apple and other big corporations, and many celebrations and wine events in Napa and Sonoma. We have appeared in People and and Us magazines and had great success with our first recording "Taverna Nights" and now our second "Bella Bella!". --- QUOTES: From a Bride: Dear Americano Social Club, Thank you for the amazing job! You were all perfect perfect perfect! I loved every second of music I heard and it really made my wedding day super special. Keep making your beautiful music! From one of our agents after an event: You guys were SO GREAT! I was so glad to get to really HEAR you that night. We will be pitching you a lot more this year. I've told my staff that you're the bomb, and to make sure all of our clients know why! ---- The Americano Social Club reflects our city of San Francisco: Eclectic, Hip, Charming, Diverse, Entertaining and Different.
