For 17 years, Pride & Joy has remained one of the most popular bands on the Bay Area music scene. Their name says it all; they are the Pride of the Bay Area and a Joy to anyone who loves to dance. They present timeless pop and soul music in an electrifying high-style show that pulls the audience directly into the heart of their performance. “It’s always been natural for us to reach out and draw in the audience. We make the people feel they’re part of the performance because they are,” says Pride & Joy founder and bandleader, Coleman Burke. “That’s what Pride & Joy has always been about – creating a great feeling in the room.”
