Terrence Brewer has been proclaimed by long-time music scribe David Becker as “the San Francisco Bay Area’s #1 jazz guitarist.” Small wonder – this multiple-award winning guitarist is a first call and in demand bandleader, record producer, concert performer, studio musician, and one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s foremost and sought after music educators.
Pamela Rose is a San Francisco jazz and blues vocalist who has thrilled audiences locally and internationally with her swinging, soulful style. Rose’s rich, bold, warm voice and easy rapport with musicians thrills audiences of all ages.
