Z Street Speakeasy Band is preparing for another busy Jazz Band season in Florida and throughout the United States. The husband and wife team of Mark and Kathy Zauss perform and front the popular "Swing Band that Rocks" with their own style and brand of hot jazz and more.
Based out of Orlando Florida, their company Band Source Productions keeps them busy with nine bands that are as unique as their own style.
Their newest endeavour is their "Show Band on Wheels" concept. Always looking for a new an unique way to reach their audiences, Mark and Kathy purchased an antique roadster, tricked it out and added onboard PA speakers. Just before the holidays during Covid, Kathy had the idea of using the antique car for holiday concerts and shows. At a time when gigs were a rarity because of the pandemic, their "Show Band on Wheels" ended up being a wild success to the point they were turning down offers to perform.
"All of the sudden, the phone began to ring. We ended up performing a 22 day show run throughout Florida. We traveled by our RV, and towed our roadster from venue to venue. People needed entertainment, and we delivered. It was wonderful for the audiences, and for us."
The show included Mark and Kathy performing for outdoor concerts, parades, festivals. "It was really something. We were at the point where we couldn't accept any more work." Mark played trumpet and sang, Kathy sang and tapped danced. Together, they lifted everyone's spirits during the pandemic. "It was pure joy, giving back to our audiences. A win win for everyone." Kathy adds.
Now, they're adding their "Show Band on Wheels" to include other holidays: July 4th, Mardi Gras as well as other theme 20's, and 50s shows, as well as offering their car, Rosebud for Gatsby and 20s theme events, parked in front of the venue.
