About Public Eye 

Public Eye is a San Francisco Bay Area rock band (mostly) that has been playing music together for over 29 years. They are a high-energy group of performers specializing in great, dance-able music from the 60s through today. They concentrate in playing at venues in Pleasanton but are available to perform all over The Bay.

Four guys got together in 1993 and talked about being in a band together; most knew each other already. They were Steve Marvel (lead vocals), Mike Simmons (bass), Rich Flynn (lead guitar) and Matt Berg (drums). Together they voted on a band name – Public Eye. Public Eye plays in bars and clubs mostly, but they also perform at weddings, wineries, festivals, corporate events and private events. They play at some events year after year. Over the years, Public Eye has performed all over the San Francisco Bay Area.
