About the Emerson House Band:

The Emerson House Band plays jazz songs of the 30s, folk, bluegrass, soul and blues. Leo and Jerry started playing together at the Emerson House, an Alzheimer’s Care Facility, and then brought on Carson and John to really develop their unique sound, which has been described as "soulful, funky, and contagious."

Emerson House Band is Leo MacLeod (vocals), Jerry Keefe (guitar, vocals and harmonica), John Hubbard (cello, banjo, guitar and vocals), and Carson Lattimore (bass, guitar, and vocals).
