Maia Santell and her backing band House Blend have been performing around the Pacific Northwest for twenty years at nightclubs, casinos, festivals, dances, cruises, special events, weddings and wedding receptions.

Maia Santell on vocals, Jeff Ziontz on guitar, Jay Mabin on harmonica and bass, Ted Dortch on tenor sax and Bruce Simpson on drums.

The band consists of vocals, guitar, saxophone, bass and drums, and performs Jazz, Blues, Swing, Big Band, Jump Blues and Rhythm and Blues. For dances the band rocks with popular music from the 50's through the 90's. For Play Lists of their extensive repertoire, email Maia:

For large festivals or concerts House Blend adds extra horns or percussion, and for small clubs, restaurants or cocktail lounges, Maia's combo is a trio consisting of guitar, bass and drums. Whatever the composition of her accompaniment, Santell's vocal style is consistently swingin' and soulful.
