Though with varying influences, each member of the ensemble comes with a single goal: to make a memorable and enjoyable musical experience. Members of the Joe Veltri Quartet have performed all over the Philadelphia area at private parties, and at venues such as Heritage, Time, Chris’ Jazz Cafe, World Cafe Live, and many more.
