Description

Smooth, sultry vocals, exceptional musicianship, and completely configurable ensembles from duos (2 performers) up to quintets (5 performers) makes Sara Bush and Friends the perfect addition to your upscale event.

The group performs classic jazz and standards from a variety of period styles including latin (bossanova, rumba, tango, samba), swing (jazz waltz, shuffle, classic '4' swing), ballads, and some very interesting interpretations of contemporary music. The group is extremely versatile and customizable to particular affairs catering music directly to customer requirements from smaller cocktail/dinner engagements, through large ballroom dances. With impecabble BPM (Beat Per Minute) timing in all popular dance styles, they are also excellent for dance groups. They can perform in small intimate settings as well as larger venues.

Sara Bush is widely recognized in the Wilmington area as one of the Delaware area's best female vocalists with an outstanding range and clarity to her voice. Her "friends" are some of the very best jazz musicians in the tri-state area many who have (or are) touring with national acts when not working with her. All members are professional, trained musicians with years of experience in their musical disciplines and share a deep love of the jazz and standard genres.

You can be assured of an upscale and quality musical event when using the Sara Bush and Friends ensemble. They also pay the Gigmaster 5% booking fee on your behalf. Contact them today to take your event to the next level musically!

NOTE TO PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS: ** All audio files for your review on Gigmasters are live performance clips from an 10/4/2008 event where the group was hired as a jazz quartet. **
