The OUT-FRONT band is available for Parties, Corporate Functions, Bars and Concerts.



OUT-FRONT is a band that is made up of some of the finest Musicians in San Francisco. They represent the best in Blues, Rock, Rhythm and Blues, Soul and Jazz standards. They can start out soft with Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and wind up rocking out with Jimi Hendrix or Shout by the Isley brothers. We have found that in San Francisco it is good to be versatile. When it comes to Sixties Rock Mike Shapiro is the guy who can sing just about any Beatles, Stones or other British Invasion group song including lots of Fifties to boot. They even include a little comedy in their show with Marlon Green's famous drum solos where he plays on everything and anything including his own head. All five of them sing lead but the heavy lifting is left to Derek Evans who has been the lead singer for The Jules Broussard band for five years. Roscoe and Marlon actually are from Jules' band also. We have been playing at one of San Francisco's premier venues, Lou's Pier 47, for about three years in the present lineup. I think it's time to branch out and let some other people hear us. Take a listen to the live CD that we recorded at Lou's and give us a call.

He plays about 20+ gigs a month and burns out cars regularly driving to gigs. He is famous for his rendition of Mule Skinner Blues which you can hear on the CD.
  • Roscoe Gallo - keys - Roscoe is an incredible keyboard player. His version of Ray Charles tunes are impeccable and his Rock ain't to bad either. During the day he is a noted Mastering Engineer and has "mastered" over 100 CDs in the past few years. He is not a bad singer either.
  • Derek Evans - vocals - Derek comes from "down south". He has got maybe the worlds loudest voice. He really doesn't have his microphone turned on, it's just for show. Just kidding. He has played all around the country and is a true professional.
That's about it. Give me a call and lets see about us making you happy at your venue or private party.
