Ted Hefko Trio
We can provide a wide range of entertainment for your club, restaurant, wedding, corporate event, birthday party, christening, bar/bat mitzvah, barbeque, holiday party or any other occasion that calls for great live music. We can arrange for anything from a classical duo of guitar and flute to a five-piece jazz band including myself on sax, flute, vocals, guitar and clarinet accompanied by guitar, upright or electric bass, drum set and a second horn such as trumpet or trombone, but a trio of sax/vocal, guitar and bass can provide enough energy to liven up your cocktail party or any small-to-medium sized gathering.

We're primarily a jazz group with an emphasis on New Orleans and roots music, but we've been known to add in tunes by everyone from Bob Dylan, to The Neville brothers and Doctor John, to Van Morrison and Stevie Wonder, to Big Bill Broonzy and we can certainly get your friends and guests dancing at the end of the night.

We're always happy to work with your budget to provide you with affordable entertainment. Every event is unique, but generally speaking, weekends cost more than weekdays and with travel over an hour from NYC, we have to take into account travel time and costs.

So if you're planning a party, please take a few minutes to listen to some of the music on this site and avail yourself of the links page for even more information, and if you have time stop by one of my gigs Thanks for listening and please don't hesitate to write or call with any questions you might have.
