Cafe Musique

Hailing from the Central Coast of California, Café Musique presents a musical collage of waltz, tango, gypsy, and folk.  Their unique sound is defined by the beautiful and driving composition of violin, accordion, bass, guitar and percussion, along with equally compelling vocals that are reminiscent of music from previous eras.
