We offer an eclectic repertoire of torch songs, bossanovas and jazz standards arranged with a fresh latin feel in a “modern reminiscence” and a touch of class.
Marivando provides an atmosphere of joy and warmth that will make your gathering a memorable success.
The Music
From a duet to sextet we’ll format the band to fit your event:
weddings, galleries, clubs, parties, corporate events, etc.
A diversity of cultures has come together to play tribute to great songwriters of our century. We love bossas, we love jazz and songs composed with soul and meaningful lyrics.
Since Marivando has played many private parties and events around Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
The band
Maria’s velvet voice echoes with admiration for such greats as
Billie Holiday, Julie London, Etta James and Sarah Vaughan, among others.
Ivan’s latin heritage seeps into the songs bridging music styles between bossa, swing, son cubano, blues, boleros, to name a few. He is on nylon string acoutic guitar or electric bass.
Doug’s melodic intuition and harmonic feel balances the rhythm section with his french trombone and when on piano he creates a tasteful accompaniment and magical solos.
Jeff keeps the beat with a solid groove, blending styles on a mix of trap and percussion instruments.

Here are what two recent clients had to say about hiring Narrow Gauge:
Dear Jim,
We were very happy with your services. You took care of all the set up and tear down as well as any issues during the night. This goes for the cocktail/dinner music as well. All of your musicians were really friendly and flexible ( i.e. having 6 girls up on stage to sing) and your fun attitude was much appreciated. You also did an excellent job keeping the wedding on track (i.e. getting the dancing started) without pressuring us to follow a time line exactly. Most importantly though, the music was great and there was never an empty dance floor....or even a sparsely populated one! It was by far one of the best parties I've been to, and to have it be our wedding too was more that we could have asked for."
Thanks,
Kyler and Emily Brown
Dear Gigleader,
Thank you Gigleader for leading us to such a great band for our wedding! Narrow Gauge was the perfect fit. We had looked all over and could not find a band that we thought would fit our guests. We love country music and so did many of our guests, but there were also people who liked a variety of different genres of music. Narrow Gauge played to the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night. We had so much fun that we even hired them for an extra set! Narrow Gauge was easy to work with! Jim was so helpful in helping us plan our reception. We had all the details worked out weeks before the reception, so I could try to relax! He even MC'd the event for us. They let several of our guest sing on stage with them, and even let Steve, my new husband play bass on one song. He doesn't even know how to play bass, but somehow it sounded great. During their breaks they had DJ music pumping through the dance floor, so even when they weren't playing, our guests kept dancing! It was truly a night to remember. Thank you Narrow Gauge for your professionalism and talent. You were so phenomenal! We couldn't recommend you more highly!
5 piece variety music band. We play country, classic rock, blues, and Latino. We have 4 lead singers and all sing harmony. Visit us on www.kismetband.com for songlist, photos, reviews, and to listen to us. Willing to travel.
Female/male rock duo Pairadeux is unlike any duo you've ever heard. We can fill dance floors or provide background entertainment at a networking event. Utilizing guitar, vocals, electronic drums and percussion, all performed LIVE, we sound like more than two people. Unlike most full bands, our volume and demeanor is appropriate for any venue - from home rec rooms to hotel ballrooms and beyond.
We play cover songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's thru today. Our extensive, diverse set list ranges from the Beatles to Coldplay, Elton John, Janis Joplin, Natalie Merchant, Sheryl Crow, K.T. Tunstall, Grateful Dead, David Gray, Counting Crows, Fleetwood Mac, Incubus, James Taylor and many, many more.
Pairadeux plays 80-100 shows per year. We are very audience-interactive, often involving everyone with singalongs, trivia and animated conversation.
Pairadeux performs with wireless mics and instruments, so we often roam into the audience.
All music is performed live; no canned or prerecorded backing tracks are used, though you might hear an occasional 'sample'.
While we specialize in rock material, we are happy to take requests in that genre and others. These requests are best made prior to the performance.
We look forward to playing at YOUR event!
