Vitamin Em
Formed in 2015 by Grammy®-nominated and award-winning musicians from around the Bay Area, Vitamin Em celebrates jazz, funk, R&B, soul and fiddle music with verve and enthusiasm.

The band is serious about having fun, and its members, steeped in an abundance of musical traditions – jazz, funk, blues, Klezmer, indie, rock, Balkan, fiddle, classical – bring a wealth of experience, creativity and fearless improvisation to each performance.

For their 2017 debut CD “Shake it Up”, Vitamin Em put their creative spin on the music of Tower of Power, Blood Sweat and Tears, Väsen and Duke Ellington along with their own hip-hop and contemporary music-inspired originals.

This band is about sharing with audiences a fun-loving spontaneity and exhilaration for the groove.  Vitamin Em has appeared around the Bay Area as featured artists with: Mason Bates and Mercury Soul;   Berkeley Symphony & Friends;  Pt. Richmond Jazz.

Members can also be found performing with the Hot Club of San Francisco, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, The Brothers Comatose, Randy Brecker, the Klezmatics, at SF Jazz or in the pit of Hamilton and the San Francisco Ballet.

Our concerts are for everyone, so please share this gift with your family, friends and neighbors and join us once again as we celebrate the transcendent power and uplifting of a community through live music.
