Who we are.....
We are a 3-piece smooth jazz musical group from the Sacramento area in California. Ray Iaea plays the saxophones, Beth Iaea plays the piano / keyboards, and Michael Noche plays guitar as well as Steve Fernandes.

What we do.....
We provide live smooth jazz and r&b music for restaurants, wineries, receptions and other private events in the Northern California area.

Small band but full sound !
We use pre-recorded tracks for bass and drums to produce the full sound of a 5-piece band, in addition to live saxophones, keyboards and guitar. Our size and sound make us a perfect fit for smaller venues. Our repertoire is versatile and we can accommodate various events, celebrations and venue sizes.

Reviews!

Ray and Beth played at our wedding this past Sunday and they were truly amazing!!! This was my first time hearing Ray and Beth live, and I along with all of our wedding guest were very impressed. When we booked Ray and Beth, our wedding details were not firm and they were very accommodating to us when the venue and times changed. Thank you guys for making our wedding a special day. We look forward to seeing you guys perform in the future. For those of you thinking about booking Ray and Beth, you will not regret it!

Talented team that was perfect for my venue! My guests said it was like having a private concert. I highly recommend this group.
