Our Story
The Touch Of Class Band was formed with the vision of vocal harmonies, choreography, and added to the mix, a heavy horn section. We are an 12-piece high-energy show band that has performed throughout the Bay Area including Northern Cal, and the Tahoe area for well over 20yrs.
As a versatile group we perform R&B / Funk / Pop, and if needed Standards. Our varied repertoire enables us to perform at outdoor concerts, festivals, corporate events, weddings, private parties, and clubs. With our versatility and high energy, we get the party going and we will leave you with an unforgettable music experience.
To sum it up, we are exactly as our name implies, a "Touch of Class".
