Since the 90ties the Tim Wallace Band has been performing thousands of private and corporate events and celebrations in the Bay Area. Most of their business comes from word of mouth. They limit their bookings in order to deliver the highest quality performances. The six-member band, together for many years, is extremely versatile and can energize many age groups. Classical, jazz, Rock, and pop, are performed with specialized arrangements and stylization. Tim has performed with well-known talent, including Little Anthony, The Platters, Dizzy Gillespie, Tom Scott, Phil Woods, Ray Everly, Ray McKinley, Anita O’Day, Cab Calloway, and Peter, Paul & Mary. Tim’s wife, Michelle, the vocalist, always looks elegant among the tuxedo-clad musicians.

The band's latest CD, released in summer 2003, includes the many styles the band performs: Jazz, pop, heavy metal, light classical in Italian and Spanish, and spiritual. is already played on radio stations. A preview of Eclectica is available on their website.

Tim conducts a thorough consultation with clients to ensure a smooth-running event. For ceremonies the band can shrink to a trio, duo, or solo. I was impressed when I saw his extensive portfolio containing pictures of ceremonies, receptions, and corporate events. A large section is dedicated to evaluation questionnaires. Clients compliment the impressive depth and breadth of their repertoire. Here are a few quotes: "Your band was wonderful again; so energetic, so great, so fun!" "Your outstanding band made our special day memorable and fun for all." "What a great music selection; we also were impressed with the beautiful instrumental music you played during dinner,... Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed your enthusiasm and range of talent."

The week I visited Tim, the band was preparing for a performance at the Pebble Beach Tennis Club for the conclusion of the AT&T Golf Classic.
