The Downbeats play at the Downbeat Cafe every Wednesday night from 7-9:30.

Vitality, intensity, exploration and the groove, friends are the drivers - the mind and the body connected and deep fried with sauce.

Matt Lake (guitar) and Vince Meghrouni (Tenor & alto sax, flute, harp, vocals) have kept the DownBeats grooving every Wednesdays for five years.

Members include or have included Mike Sessa, Scott Bartel, Adam Levy, Hank Van Sickle, Jose Gurria-Cardenas, Leslie Baker, Michael Alvidrez, Marc Doten, Pat Hoed, Robert Azul, Ryan Dean, Dan Potruch, Eric Holden, Will Logan, Zachary Provost, Corey Flanigan, Ted Kamp, and many others.

The basic lineup includes saxes, flute, guitars, upright bass and drums but is often augmented by great sit-in artists and singers - sometimes including owner Dan blowin' harp!
