The Meadowlark Jazz Duo

Based in Novato CA

✶ There’s something special about live music done right. It doesn't just fill a room—it sets the whole mood. That’s where Heather Heliger and David Kessner come in. Working out of Novato and performing across the greater San Francisco Bay Area and Wine Country, The Meadowlark Jazz Duo delivers that smooth, cool vintage sound that instantly makes an event feel like a classic. Heather’s effortless vocals paired with David’s rich piano work bring back the warmth and charm of real, live musicianship that you just can't get from a playlist.

Their setlist hits all the sweet spots of the Great American Songbook. Think the timeless style of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Diana Krall, mixed in with breezy bossa nova grooves and clever, jazz-infused takes on classic pop hits. Whether you need quiet, elegant background music during a Wine Country cocktail hour or a warm, engaging performance for a dinner crowd, they know how to read the room and dial in the perfect vibe.

Best of all, hosting them is completely hassle-free. The duo is fully self-contained, bringing their own pro-grade sound setup with them. They show up, plug into a standard outlet, handle the details, and let you focus on enjoying your night. From corporate galas and vineyard weddings to intimate anniversary parties, they bring that easygoing polish that leaves a lasting impression.
