Syncopated City 2 or 3 piece neo soul/alternative jazz band

We offer a show of original music and some re-imagined classics in duo ( voice, guitar, keys, live electronics, and bass ) ,or in trio ( add drummer).

We write in the style of alternative Jazz/neo soul, but it’s very hard to put a label on our music as we all come from the jazz background but also delve into electronic music, rock , rnb, classical, latin jazz etc. So we would kindly suggest you listen to our music/ or watch our live videos, to have a more accurate idea of what we actually do.

We most times travel with our PA man who is also our sound engineer and our full equipment due to the massive amount of gear involved. On stage we have two computers, a short keyboard, an electric guitar, a six string bass, at times also an upright bass, multiple chains of sound processors, loopers, push, sampler, mic, stands and professional gear desks. When we play in trio add to this a full drum set entirely mic-ed . We use in-ear monitoring, so we don't need stage monitors allowing for a much cleaner view .

We provide the venue with a detailed tech rider as soon as the gig is confirmed and the contract is signed, to make everybody’s job accurate and super smooth .

As far as the musicians they are all conservatory graduated and well experienced in production and the performative arts at the international level. The vocalist, composer, producer and multi instrumentalist Irene Salis has lived , studied and performed in NYC for 14 years. The bassist, composer and producer Stefano Casti has studied and performed in the UK and Cuba for a decade . They’re both residing in Sardinia at the moment where they founded the Syncopated City project about 8 months ago, but always moving around quite a bit.
