Legacy

ABOUT

We are a 6 piece R&B/old school funk/smooth jazz band consisting of keyboard, guitar, drums, bass and two lead vocalists. Our performances are TOTALLY 100% live - we don't do any looping, sequencing, backing tracks, etc. We also don't use Auto Tune. Not that there's anything wrong with the fancy technology - we just prefer to play it ourselves "for real" and let the musical chips fall where they may. Legacy is available for private functions, corporate events, wedding receptions and outdoor music festivals. The band will travel anywhere within a 150 mile radius.
