The Future Dead Ringers are the newest force on the Bay Area music scene—a high-energy Funk/Blues/Latin Jazz quintet blending deep grooves, improvisational fire, and global rhythms into a sound that’s as bold as it is soul-moving.

​

Made up of five seasoned musicians with roots in jazz clubs, festival stages, and collaborative projects across California, the ensemble brings a rich mix of influences and experience to the stage. Among them is percussionist Dave Flores, known for his work with the John Santos Sextet—one of many musical threads that shape the band’s collective voice. Together, they fuse classic jazz language with modern funk, Afro-Latin traditions, and blues-driven melodies, creating performances that feel both timeless and electrifyingly fresh.

​

The Future Dead Ringers are a live band first—thriving on spontaneity, connection, and the shared energy of the room. Whether they’re locking into a deep groove, stretching out a solo section, or reimagining jazz standards with unexpected twists, the quintet delivers a dynamic, immersive show every time they take the stage.

​

With their first wave of performances rolling out across the Bay Area, The Future Dead Ringers are quickly becoming a must-hear ensemble for jazz lovers, groove seekers, and anyone craving music with heart, heat, and soul.
