Out-Front is a band that is made up of some of the finest musicians in San Francisco. They represent the best in blues, rock, rhythm and blues, soul and jazz standards. They can start out soft with Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and wind up rocking out with Jimi Hendrix or Shout by the Isley Brothers. When it comes to 60's rock, Mike Shapiro is the guy who can sing just about any Beatles, Stones or other British Invasion group song, including lots of 50's to boot. They even include a little comedy in their show with Marlon Green's famous drum solos where he plays on everything and anything including his own head. All five of them sing lead but the heavy lifting is left to Derek Evans who has been the lead singer for The Jules Broussard band for five years. Roscoe and Marlon actually are from Jules' band also. Out-Front has been playing at one of San Francisco's premier venues, Lou's Pier 47, for about three years in the present lineup.
