Two Generations. One Sound.
Key City Jazz is jazz guitarist Eric Harstad and his son, keyboardist & guitarist Leo Harstad - playing the jazz standards people love, with a fresh, personal touch.What started as playing together at home became something they wanted to share. Their jazz music fits naturally into the background of a dinner or a cocktail hour.We’re proud to call Mankato, the Key City, home.(Leo also composes his own music, and you may hear an original or two along the way.)
