"Delivering a vintage synths and modern rock edge — with a kind of 'in-the-trench' team chemistry you can't fake."
Diversified
Mixed Rock/Synth Music Genres
We perform live at select venues on an uncompensated basis, including festivals, large corporate events, private equity parties, and clubs and bars across Southern California. For us, playing is not about money, but our mission. We are selective about the venues that we choose to play at and are open to inquiries.
We are not just a band, but an evolving, recently-launched, live experience.
Our band is small footprint and high impact, with growing sets that are specifically designed to draw crowds.

ABOUT THE L.A. BANKERS
The band was founded by two professional M&A investment bankers from Century City, California, that have chosen to share their life-long musical passion with others.
Our mission is simple: to reconnect with our creative roots, inspire others to do the same, and remind serious business professionals that they can let loose, slow down, and proudly show their creativity and multi-dimensionality - beyond a given work persona.
About the band's founders:
Jeffrey Shippy (Lead Vocals, Keys & Production)
Founder and CEO of Audacity IB, an award-winning M&A investment bank and strategy advisory firm based in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.
John Calcagnini (Lead Vocals & Lead Guitar)
Managing Director of Healthcare Investment Banking at Mesirow based in Los Angeles.
Jeff and John are joined by:
Ryan Voisine (Lead Vocals & Drums)
A veteran of the music video production industry and of the legendary Anderson family, known for Oscar-winning visual effects in Hollywood.
Jeff Ramirez (Bass Guitar & Backup Vocals)
A leader in the Southern California insurance industry.
We invite you to celebrate music with us, including through our (soon to come!) catalog of originals and live recordings that reflect the passion, trials, and tribulations of real life and business!
