ABOUT

The Banded Geckos, a quartet, specialize in three and four part vocal harmony, lyrical humor, heartfelt ballads, and spirited acoustic instrumentation (guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, bass, and harmonica). Their music is an engaging blend of Contemporary Folk, Swing, and Traditional Jazz elements. Their set list is packed with originals as well as classics from the 1940's onward.
