The Beat Meters play their own rootsy versions of danceable rock & roll, funk, pop and blues primarily from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and a smattering of tunes from the 80's, 90's to the present. They also perform classic dinner jazz for any event, and the traditional ceremonial music for most weddings.

The personnel includes Gary Bauman on lead guitar, Joe Kaline on rhythm guitar, Eva Maass on bass, Lincoln Adler on woodwinds, and George Smeltz on drums. All band members are accomplished vocalists in there own right, and jump effortlessly from lead to backup as required by the material.
