Blue Dot Jazz Troupe

D.C.'s House Band

Stationed at Alex Speakeasy.

House band at Georgetown's swanky Alex Speakeasy and veterans of D.C.'s elite stages — we marry rebellion with old-school discipline and weave pop, funk, blues, and Brazilian beats through classic jazz.

Any SizeAcoustic duo to horn-blasting sextet, scaled to your room.
Any OccasionWeddings, corporate affairs, private parties, clubs.
Any VenueSpeakeasies to Nats Park — we've played them all.

Configurations

One Troupe, Three Vibes.

Whether it's a two-person serenade or a full horn section, the room sets the size — the groove stays the same.

I.

Acoustic Duo

Piano and bass for dinners, ceremonies, and quiet corners that need a pulse.

II.

Trio & Quartet

Add drums and vocals — cocktail hours and receptions, standards with a modern edge.

III.

Horn-Blasting Sextet

The full force — trumpet and sax up front, brass turned loose for the kind of set D.C. talks about.

Meet the Troupe

Reviews

What D.C. Says.

Fantastic! Sadly, I only heard them play a year after my wedding — they would have killed it. A lot of range, an original sound, and fun takes on the classics and top 40.

Wedding Guest

They never compete with the wedding party and guests but offer appropriate background music. Rooted in the music of New Orleans, they blend blues, funk, and Afro-Cuban melodies.

Wedding Client

Amazing experience! Blue Dot created an amazing atmosphere, seamlessly moving from a welcoming vibe before dinner to an upbeat tone as we danced into the night.

Private Event

Andy and the Blue Dot Jazz Troupe were brilliant! Perfect for our wedding party, playing through the reception, dances, and dinner. Fully recommend.

Wedding Client

We hired Blue Dot for our wedding and the band is extremely talented — a vast knowledge of jazz styles and a great song list. We will definitely re-book.

Wedding Client

Blue Dot Jazz played for my 30th birthday and were a complete hit — all great tunes to match the vibe of the party. We've hired them twice now.

Birthday Client

Your event. Our groove.

Dates fill fast in wedding season — tell us yours.
