leads on keyboard and vocals with trumpet, sax and drums.
Guitar and bass are available as options.
The mix starts with jazz, blues and standards but can include as much pop and rock as needed.
These are real musicians playing without recorded backgrounds, true live music from a remarkably affordable band. See the song list and hear demos.

and reggae
Ted also leads a four-piece rock and roll band called The Convertibles. The song list includes oldies, classic rock, and variety. Jamaican-born guitarist Eugene Grey is featured on Bob Marley reggae, and Ted sings Jimmy Buffet.
