Their music takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster that fuses elements of old-school funk, progressive rock, blues, and soul. Throughout their set, you can hear diverse influences such as Tower Of Power, Jimi Hendrix and Trombone Shorty. Jive Machine is uniquely able to incorporate new ideas while paying homage to the great artists who came before them. The band is defined by a strong rhythmic foundation, infectious melodies, tasteful lead guitar virtuosity, and crisp horn lines.  Recently, Jive Machine has become notorious for their "pop-up" performances in downtown Santa Cruz. These events always erupt into a massive dance party, and within moments, you'll see It's impossible not to be captivated by the talent and contagious energy of their live shows!  SUN HOP FAT Blending the dance-inspiring rhythms of American psychedellic funk and soul jazz, with harmonies and melodies from East and West Africa, Sun Hop Fat embraces an astounding groove and is the premier Bay Area ensemble devoted to expanding the Ethiopian Jazz tradition, while adding its own distinctive NorCal flavor.   "A steady wall of extraordinary moving sound and beats"- SF Examiner ==== *All sales are final - no refunds *Avoid scammers!
