The Noise Gets Around

Their material is refreshing, they are very entertaining, they engage the audience, and always ready to perform. I would not hesitate to hire them for any event, private party, or wedding.

Johnson's music is what Sergio Mendes began in the mid-1960s.

Great sound. Very classic and very sultry. Good stuff.

Fronted by the rich vocals of crooner Michael Carter, Vintage Noise is a dynamic ensemble of talented musicians from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their music, though mainly jazz and bossa nova, also includes elements of gypsy jazz, swing and tango.

We so enjoyed having Vintage Noise play at our restaurant last weekend... it was a beautiful night in the garden and the classic songs you sang made it very romantic. We loved it, and hope you return soon to serenade us again.

I wanted to thank you and quartet for playing at yesterday's dinner for the residents. Everyone loved the music and it was the perfect accompaniment to such a festive evening.

We have been very fortunate to have found Vintage Noise! Very pleased to hear them keep 'Sinatra' alive! There is nothing like relaxing with a glass of wine listening to Vintage Noise! Thanks for the great memories.

Expanding on jazz standards, Vintage Noise toys with bossa nova, R&B, and even reggae as a way to reinvigorate and reinvent the genre.

Latter-day crooner Michael Carter sings in the style of Sinatra. Carter is backed by some great local talent.

Michael's voice exudes a 'new age' Sinatra style of entertainment. They always bring a new level of energy to our venues and everyone loves their show!

Known for their fresh takes on 'vintage' classics, Vintage Noise covers bossa nova and jazz songs from the '60s. Some Great American Songbook standards in the band's repertoire include 'King of the Road,' 'Ain't That a Kick in the Head,' 'Quizás, Quizás, Quizás,' and 'Manhã de Carnaval.'
