Individually, the members of Sassiety have been turning heads in their own projects. Together, the unique combination is jaw-dropping.

See Sassiety live tonight! The quartet features a classically trained keyboardist, a young jazz guitar virtuoso, a drummer who made a career playing in “girl bands,” and a stylish bassist with a showband history.
