Blue Velvet, a 10–17-piece dance oriented Big Band has been entertaining listeners for over 2 decades with music that really gets you on your feet. Our many popular dance music styles from the 40's to the present include swing, cha cha, tango, rumba, fox trot, waltz, polka, pop hits as well as ballads.

Price Range: $600 - $3000
Blue Velvet has a song book of over 420 dance and popular big band tunes from the 1940's to date. The band has been together for well over 2 decades and consists of all seasoned musical veterans, many who are current or retired school music teachers and band/orchestra leaders.
The band instrumentation is saxophone/woodwinds, trumpets/fluegelhorns, trombones, bass, keys and drums, but the size of the band can range from 10 members to 17 members to suit your budget and/or venue size.
Our smallest big band configuration is 3 saxes, 2 trumpets & 2 trombones with bass, keys and drums. Our most common booked size is 3 saxes, 3 trumpets & 3 trombones with bass, keys, drums and optional female (Paula Bacorn) or male (Tony DeLouisa) lead vocalist. And our largest configuration is 5 saxes, 4 trumpets & 4 trombones with bass, keys, drums and optional lead vocalist. Rest assured which ever size band you hire, you and your guests will be Totally Satisfied, and it'll be a performance that all remember for years to come.
The Blue Velvet Big Band, while great at it, does more than just swing music. With our large ensembles, we perform most styles of dance music, including swing, latin, and ballroom. With our smaller combo configurations, we perform mainstream jazz and swing standards that make ideal background and listening music. We also provide ceremony music and solo cocktail piano. If desired, we’re happy to help you with your musical choices, and to act as Master of Ceremonies for your event. Live music, whether for background or dancing, dramatically enhances the enjoyment of any event.
