The Curtis Family C-Notes 

Fresh from their breakout appearance on America’s Got Talent Season 16, The Curtis Family C-Notes bring an energetic blend of soul, jazz, funk, R&B, and family harmony to the Fillmore Jazz Festival.

The seven-member family band—Papa C, Mama C, and their five children, Zahara, Nile, Isis, Kiki, and Phoenix—has captivated audiences across the country with dynamic performances and exceptional musicianship. Since appearing on national television, they have released their third album, Awaken III, performed at renowned venues including Yoshi’s, the Blue Note, the Fox Theatre, and Concord Pavilion, and shared the stage with artists including Jon Batiste, El DeBarge, Lalah Hathaway, Lenny Williams, and Juan Escovedo.

Beyond the stage, the Curtis Family is deeply committed to music education and community service. Through their nonprofit, Passing The Torch, they connect generations through music while supporting underserved communities in San Francisco. Parents Curtis and Nola also serve on the faculty at the San Francisco Community Music Center, where the entire family continues to learn, teach, and inspire.

With outstanding musicianship, infectious energy, and a message rooted in family and community, The Curtis Family C-Notes deliver a performance that celebrates the power of music to bring people together.
