Our musicians can configure into two separate bands, all are full time professional musicians who are dedicated to 'The Fever' and we all play together in various line ups often. The musicians also play with other top professional players in other creative projects (jazz, bluegrass, blues, rock, etc) for clubs and festivals and keep their creativity, skills and interest piqued. Most of The Fever's musicians have advanced training in jazz and music performance, which leads to an ability to deliver crushing solos and can't-help-but-dance grooves for high energy celebrations.

We'll help create and organize your dream event - we can be hands-off or hands-on, however you work best.
