The Basic Beat is a 4 piece rock/blues/reggae band from Oakland.

Check out our live videos...

We pride ourselves on sound control and will not blow away the venue.

We are happy to open for other bands.  We prefer Saturdays but will happily consider "auditioning" on a weeknight.

We play classic rock, blues, reggae, country, etc, many genres

We can provide up to 2 hours of music, about 50% original material.

Best,

Sam Weinstein
