🥁 Segue
Segue is a rock band. It's pronounced SEG-way.
We started in San Rafael, California in January 1994. See that jolty picture up there?^ That's what the band is like - it stops, it starts, it stops, and it starts. We've gone through many iterations over the decades, but we're still around, playing good ol' rock 'n' roll music.
What follows is a timeline of Segue's live performances. For those of you who've seen our band perform, listened to our records, joined us onstage or in the studio, thank you.
