MEET OUR BAND
Jeremy — Bass
Jeremy listens first and plays second. He's toured all over, his ears are impossibly sharp, and he knows music inside and out. When you need a bassist who locks in and makes the whole band sound better, Jeremy's your dude. He also teaches music, so he's incredibly patient and professional.


Marko — Drums
Marko brings sensitivity and creativity to everything he plays. His breadth of styles runs from Latin percussion to rock to jazz, always in perfect time. He's reliable and genuinely reads the room—he knows when to drive and when to hold back.
Ben — Keys & Guitar
Ben's a multi-instrumentalist and music director by trade, which means he's thoughtful about arrangement and tone. Having his ears in the band makes everything better.

Why This Matters
When you hire Merlot Embargo, you're getting professional musicians who know each other well and have extensive experience playing together. We listen, we adapt, and we understand that the song, not our individual parts, is what matters. All of our musicians are fully insured and professional. We coordinate logistics, show up prepared, and take pride in what we deliver.
(If any of our core musicians isn't available for your date, we work with trusted substitutes—we know good people!)
