Intuition Quartet has been playing together for about ten years, and our music is a mix of jazz, r&b, and soft rock on guitar, bass, harmonica, and flute (drums on request). Our set lists include originals as well as covers, in a mix of vocals and instrumentals tailored to your event. We perform in all kinds of venues, from clubs and restaurants to area farmers markets, outdoor showcases, and festivals (Hastings Flea, Howlin' Wolf, Take Me to the River, and the Hudson River Festival where we opened for the Holmes Brothers). Our CD, "Rendezvous," was released in 2019.

Applause for Intuition Quartet:
“I heard the music from afar and thought it was a recording, it sounded so good.” - Kate P, Tarrytown/Sleepy Hollow NY Farmers Market, 2019
“Good music at the Farmers Market.” - Robert B., Irvington NY, 2019
“A live quartet played beautiful music during our brunch.” - Diner at MP Taverna, Irvington NY, 2015, on Open Table
"They never fail to please. With two great songwriters and interpreters, and with Pam on flute and Hope on harmonica, the band can seamlessly swing from jazzy sophistication to down and dirty blues." - Carter Smith, Common Ground Community Concerts, Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, 2016
"…A truly original sonic experience. The set was teeming with perfect selections for the back and forth soloing of flute and harmonica..." - Evan Scott, Scarsdale Patch, Scarsdale, NY, 2016
"In spite of the rain on Saturday night, Intuition Quartet packed Bar'Lees in Mamaroneck, New York and enthralled the audience with delightful melodies, masterful harmonies, impish improvisation, and cohesible chemistry. Weaving a delicate aural tapestry of blues, samba, and folk originals and covers, Hope Berkeley (harmonica/vocals); Pamela Sklar (flute/vocals); Irene Maher (guitar/lead vocals); and Joan Indigo (bass/lead vocals) decisively and firmly marked their own unique territory on the entertainment circuit! - Roger Zee, bassist & host, Victor's Thursday jam, Hawthorne NY, 2019
“Went to see one of my favorite Westchester bands Saturday night at Bar'Lees in Mamaroneck, New York. Intuition Quartet locks the pocket with four-part vocal harmony like an early, expansive Beatles. You can hear, smell, almost taste the sizzle when they cook up their spicy gumbo of Latin, jazz, blues, and originals. The quartet consists of Irene Maher (guitar/vocals), Joan Indigo (bass, vocals), Pamela Sklar (flute, vocals), and Hope Berkeley (harp, vocals). While Maher and Indigo firmly tether the group together with their earthy groove, Sklar and Berkeley strain against the bonds to reach for the stars with soaring improvisation. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of their latest CD 'Rendezvous.'” - Roger Zee, bassist & host, area jams and music critic for MoreSugar, 2019
