Con Brio is a San Francisco Bay Area seven-piece that plays energetic soul, psych-rock and R&B that's as fresh and freethinking as the place they call home. Founded in 2009 and named for an Italian musical direction meaning "with spirit," the band is renowned for their electric live show, which has kept them in demand at clubs from Tokyo to Amsterdam, and on festival stages from Austin City Limits to Lollapalooza to Byron Bay Bluesfest in Australia. Collectively operated and constantly evolving, Con Brio is a creative hub for some of the Bay Area's most gifted veteran musicians. 

As of 2021, Con Brio features singer Sarah Clarke—known for her vocal range and magnetic stage presence—as well as guitarist Benjamin Andrews, keyboardist AJ McKinley, trumpeter Brendan Liu, saxophonist Marcus Stephens, bassist Jonathan Kirchner and drummer Andrew Laubacher. 

Sille, a.k.a. Peyton Ellis, is a 20-year-old singer-songwriter born and raised in Santa Fe. Her music is inspired by R&B, neo-soul, and female jazz singers. She is currently working on her first album while studying at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California.
