Since the formation of Tip of the Top in early 2009, it has grown to become one of the most talked about bands in the San Francisco Bay Area. The band's musical style is reminiscent of the 1950’s and their live show contains many of the musical elements that have come to be known as American Roots Music. Tip of the Top's debut CD Depot Street Blues, which has been well received by both fans and blues music critics, is but a small sampling of the many musical styles that you will experience at a live show.

The music from the 1950’s has had many different names. It has been called the blues, rock ‘n roll and rhythm and blues. But no matter what you call it, Tip of the Top brings this music to life like few other bands in the Bay Area. So if you love to dance or if you like to sit and watch the musicians and listen to the music, Tip of the Top is the band for you. Get out and experience one of their shows when they are in your area!

Read the latest buzz about Depot Street Blues:
Tip of the Top CD Depot Street Blues rated 4 out of 5 stars…



Jon Lawton is the kind of guitarist that musicians notice. He knows how to build a solo and how to play rhythm ... (Lawton displays) mastery of slide (guitar) ... (Lawton's vocals) evoke a mood like the ultra-coolness of Willie Mabon.

(Kumar has been a) best-kept secret commodity around the South Bay in recent years ... Kumar's vocals and harp shine ... (Kumar plays) very tasteful acoustic harmonica ...

(Carlos Velasco and Frank DeRose) anchor the groove-driven arrangements. The lead instruments blend in to create a unified sound. These guys sound like a band.

Overall some very tasty and well played tunes. The CD should garner worldwide airplay...it's that good...
