Led by the charismatic duo of bandleader/trumpet player/vocalist Mark and powerhouse vocalist Kathy, the band has earned a prestigious reputation performing for Disney, Universal Studios, and A-list corporate clients such as HGTV, McDonald’s, Cisco, Macy’s, and the INC. 5000 Awards. Their résumé includes opening performances for Sting, Taylor Swift, Matteo Bocelli, and Howie Mandel. The band has also played at events attended by celebrities like John Travolta, Guy Fieri, and Joey Fatone—proof that their appeal reaches far beyond traditional jazz audiences and into the elite entertainment arena.

The Z Street Speakeasy Band comes performance-ready with their own state-of-the-art sound system, stage and dance floor lighting, and even an eye-catching antique red roadster that can be parked at your venue to greet guests and serve as a glamorous photo op. Dressed to the nines in vintage gowns, tuxedos, zoot suits, and fedoras, and backed by dazzling Art Deco bandstands, they look as good as they sound. With both male and female vocalists, a full horn section, rhythm players, and a built-in DJ for set breaks, they provide a seamless, nonstop experience that elevates any event to extraordinary. Fully insured and completely self-contained, The Z Street Speakeasy Band is not a bar band—they’re a show-stopping act built for ballrooms, black-tie affairs, and high-profile stages nationwide.
