Melly's performance and repertoire will instantly transport you to a time where cool vibes, Hot Tunes and Chilled Martinis were all that mattered!

The Madmen consists of local legends including Musical Director Lukas Dominguez on Piano, local prodigy Michael Valentini on Bass and longtime bandmates Johnny Pisano and Jack Kovic on Drums and Guitar respectively. Rounding out the group are the horn combo stylings of Jennings and smith, established icons and sought after mercenaries on the popular San Diego Jazz scene.

Melly G. likes the term "Modern Retro" when referring to her take on the Jazz scene and the Madmen. "I think it's obvious that people are drawn to the classy vibe that emanated from the Speakeasy's and Jazz Clubs of the 20's and 30's. Not to mention the cool sophistication of the Americana Cocktail lounges of the 50's and 60's." "I like to recreate those feelings and sensations.. but with a bit of a modern twist!"

• What can I say, these guys rock! Great selection of music from an incredible group of artists. The singer was awesome, my guests continue to ask about her and the band! These guys are definately on my list for any/all future events. Putting it together was easy, their suggestions were informative and helpful in my wedding planning stages. They offered many ideas that we incorporated into our wedding that made it soooooo much better. They were on time, on key, and off the hook! They're selection of songs was tailored to crowd and the mood all through the evening. -- Christine O, Coronado, CA, 5/2/2010
• Melly G and the Madmen accommodated all our requests, were creative in their suggestions, and fantastic to work with prior to the event! During the day of the wedding, they were flawless. Always setting the right tone with great music/songs at the appropriate time, and ensured all my family and friends had the most wonderful time! We had great feedback from our guests as they all were impressed with the band and their range of music...jazz during cocktail and contemporary during dinner reception. They are excellent and I couldn't have wished for a better band for my wedding! -- Tina C, Napa, CA, 5/29/2010
• I could not have asked for a better band to perform at my event. The music was classic and Melly’s voice was effortless. Melly was also probably one of the nicest people I had ever met, and the Madmen were all awesome. I would hire them back in a heartbeat. -- Jennifer E, La Jolla, CA, 12/31/2010
