What People are saying
“Scarlet is a fabulous band! They played for my birthday party and had all 65 of us out on the dance floor having the absolute best time.
Their music brought so much joy and energy to the evening—from pop hits to beloved standards, they played it all with style and heart. This band knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going.
Truly the best! I highly recommend them; they will get the party moving.”
—Ellen Martin
Executive Director, First Night Monterey“Scarlet is the ultimate party band! We’ve enjoyed seeing them perform all around town and ended up hiring them for a private party.
They are so professional and really brought the house down. Such an absolute pleasure!”
—René Romero Schuler“Scarlet is a group of professionals who continue to evolve as a band and bring fresh and new energy to every show.
Each show is unique, and the team is a joy to work with. Their flexibility and humility are refreshing.
We are proud to call Scarlet a partner of Carmel Mission Inn.”
—Bob Lambert
General Manager, Carmel Mission Inn“I threw a birthday party for myself and hired Scarlet. They were definitely the highlight of the evening for me and my 90 guests. About half the guests were party dancing fanatic friends and we know and love the band.
Comments from my guests:
“I’ve been to lots of live music with dancing before, but I’ve never seen a dance floor explode like that on the first several bars of the first song.”
“Best birthday party EVER!”
The band plays a genuine gamut of high energy songs from the old classic rock to more modern classics. When you look up the unfamiliar originals, sometimes they are not as good as the Scarlet version.
The whole band is a rhythm junkie’s dream come true.”
—Tom Hofler“Scarlet was professional and prepared from the moment they arrived—on time, fully set up, sound-checked and ready to go before our guests walked in, even assisting with microphones and their sound system for our speakers.
Their energetic performance, versatile set list and exceptional talent were a perfect fit for our diverse crowd, and we will gladly welcome them back for future events.”
