The Felt-tips are one of the best dance bands in Mendocino County. All highly experienced musicians, we play rock, blues, Motown, and country standards, and specialize in danceable beats, vocal harmonies, and tight instrumentals. We've been playing around Mendocino and Lake counties since the summer of 2004, and have gained a following for our high-spirited performances and non-stop dance favorites.

The Felt-tips were founded by "Indelible" T.J. Elton on lead vocals, guitar, and keyboards, and "Magic" Marc Levine on vocals and bass. T.J. and Marc have been playing together in Ukiah for over a decade.

T.J. and Marc are joined by rockin' Ray Ashford on drums, and now the amazing Jimmy "Chardonnay" Milone on lead guitar, as well as other great players and singers. We can provide anything from a soloist or duo to a full 5- or 6-piece band.
Our focus is on flexibility. From a quiet dinner set to ballads for a winery tasting room, to all-out stompin' boogie for a floor full of dancers, we deliver. Holiday songs? Theme parties like Hawaiian or Western or Oldies? You bet!

Marc the bass player owns a local recording studio, All Ears Audio, and the band has recorded a CD there, available at our gigs. Other memorabilia include really cool hats, in limited supply -- get 'em while you can. (currently sold out -- email us if you're interested.)

The Felt-tips play local clubs and taverns, as well as wineries, casinos, special events, and private parties. If you like to dance, hire them for your next party, or watch for them at a club near you. You can see our current schedule here.
