“The Rice & Bean Project” is a group of professional musicians who have individually been playing for over 30 years. They have come together locally and have been playing for more than five years. The band consists of local musicians who play Latin jazz, soul, and island music including original songs plus familiar songs with a Latin vibe. They are also available for private parties.
The Rice & Bean Project plays every Friday at 5:30pm in the main dining room at La Tequila on Cloverdale Boulevard. When nicer weather allows, they play on the outside patio.
