Spill the Wine band - a tribute to the very best of pop, soul, and rock n' roll!

Where We Play

We play summer concert series and outdoor festivals including Napa, Moraga, Orinda, and Capitola. We play art and wine fairs and community events throughout the Bay Area. We play wineries and breweries throughout Northern California. We play weddings and private parties, corporate events and fundraisers, and bars and music venues across the Bay Area.

Why Book Us?  

What makes us a great booking is simple. We have been doing this for over 10 years and we understand how events actually work. We show up prepared, start on time, keep breaks tight, and adjust volume and energy to fit the setting. Our wide ranging sets work for different crowds and different ages. We pay attention to the room and adapt in real time. Venues and event organizers bring us back because we are reliable, easy to work with, and consistently deliver shows people enjoy.

The Music

Our music spans pop, soul, R&B, and rock. We cover five decades of great songs with a mix of well known favorites and deeper cuts that feel exciting to hear live. We have over 60 songs in regular rotation and we are always adding more, which keeps things fresh for us and for the audience.

If you are booking live music for a summer concert series, festival, art and wine fair, wedding, corporate event, fundraiser, winery, brewery, or music venue, we would love to talk and make your event a great one.

BAND MEMBERS 

Kelly McIntyre - lead vocals, percussion

Spill the Wine's high energy performances are rooted in Kelly's exceptional talent as a lead vocalist. Kelly grew up in rural Minnesota and developed her expressive and powerful vocal style singing in theatre and with a variety of blues, R&B, and indie bands. She led the popular local group Kelly's Kitchen in the Bay Area before lending her gifts to STW in 2009.

David Sayen - bass, vocals

David hails from Philadelphia where he studied music at Temple University. His passion is jazz, but he has extensive experience in theatre, churches, big bands and popular music. He loves to dance almost as much as he loves playing music. You might say he stands out from the crowd.

Jeremy Yabrow - keyboards, vocals

Originally from Long Island NY, Jeremy grew up listening to FM radio, with rock DJs playing the best music of the 70s & 80s. Frustrated by incomplete sheet music and teachers that couldn’t show him how to play “the good parts”, he learned to pick them out on his own. Since moving to the Bay Area, he’s been playing keyboard for several bands in different genres. From rock and folk to R&B and disco, Jeremy strives to bring authentic keyboard sounds to our songs, and provides the critical instrumentation needed to get the full feel of the performance just right for our audience. Jeremy  also sings and rocks the harmonica!

Rubin Ray - guitar and vocals

Rubin Ray grew up in the Bay Area.  He studied music playing the saxophone and guitar in high school. Rubin's original music has been played hundreds of times on college radio. Cover bands he has been in over the years include the 80s A Go Go s, Sweet Hand’s band, PTK band ,the 7th Sons band and the Xstatic band. He appeared on 8 CDs with the Black Angels Band . 


 

Steve Middleton - drums

Steve Middleton started playing drums in high school on the east coast. He thought he hit the big time when the band he was in was called to replace Hall and Oats at a town celebration. The band was not immediately signed to a record deal, allowing Steve to continue playing in a range of bands through college.  His genres include funk, pop, rock and any tune that gets people up and moving. Often mistaken for Nicolas Cage, Steve's  favorite movie is Raising Arizona.
