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 the gamut from Latin 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 many years of experience playing together. We listen, both to each other and the audience, we adapt, and we understand that the song, not our individual parts, is what matters. We handle the logistics: fully insured, we coordinate with your team, and we show up prepared. But what really matters is that we care about how it lands.
(If any of our core musicians isn't available for your date, we work with trusted substitutes—we know good people!)
