D.C.'s House Band
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.
Configurations
Whether it's a two-person serenade or a full horn section, the room sets the size — the groove stays the same.
Piano and bass for dinners, ceremonies, and quiet corners that need a pulse.
Add drums and vocals — cocktail hours and receptions, standards with a modern edge.
The full force — trumpet and sax up front, brass turned loose for the kind of set D.C. talks about.

Reviews
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 GuestThey 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 ClientAmazing 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 EventAndy and the Blue Dot Jazz Troupe were brilliant! Perfect for our wedding party, playing through the reception, dances, and dinner. Fully recommend.
Wedding ClientWe 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 ClientBlue 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.
