Vitamin Em is a Bay Area collective of genre-defying musicians who bring together an unexpected palette of instruments — strings, bassoon, piano, percussion and more — to create a sound that's as distinctive as it is dynamic. Blending jazz, fusion, funk, R&B, soul, fiddle traditions, and hints of jazzy classical music, the group reimagines what these styles can be when filtered through unconventional instrumentation.
At the heart of Vitamin Em is a deep commitment to improvisation. Featuring Grammy-nominated and award-winning artists, the ensemble thrives on spontaneity, pushing each performance into new territory with fearless creativity, tight interplay, and virtuosic flair. No two concerts are the same — each one is a vibrant, high-energy journey that moves fluidly across genres while staying grounded in groove, emotion, and musical storytelling.
The result is a concert experience that's both sophisticated and wildly fun: an engaging fusion of sounds, textures, and personalities, delivered with enthusiasm, precision, and blazing, unforgettable improvisation.
