Custom curated live music for corporate events in San Diego

The Left Coast Quintet, or LCQ for short, has been entertaining San Diegans since 2014.  Our unique arrangements bring the sounds of movies, jazz, pop, and classical out of the symphony hall and into a fun and approachable space. Live music increases guest engagement, encourages guests to spend more time at the reception area, and creates a stronger first impression. ​

We can't wait to entertain you!

"I had two high-profile work events that needed music during the cocktail reception. I connected with Dan, and he was amazing to work with. They worked with me to cultivate a playlist that worked for our audience, showed up on time and were professionally dressed, and played beautifully. I highly recommend them."

Thoughts from Our Clients:

"I recently worked with Dan and his musicians for a corporate event and we recommend them as a welcome addition to any gathering.  They were punctual and talented.  They read the room perfectly in their choice of songs to play.  Everyone was able to enjoy the live music, even while having conversations with out being drowned out by it.  Dan was pleasant and wonderful to work with and I look forward to the opportunity to do so again!"
