Dave Washburn Jazz Band

EVA Vetted Entertainer

Compare to: Pete Fountain, Benny Goodman, Sinatra vocals

Dallas, TX, USA

Jazz & swing band, usually 6 members but varying from 2 to 7 members

We are a 6 piece traditional New Orleans style group, playing hot jazz, swing, dixieland, big band tunes and other varieties. You may hear some Sinatra style "croon tunes," an Elvis or Chuck Berry song or maybe even a polka or two, especially around Oktoberfest season. We have played many venues in the Metroplex, including weddings, corporate & private events, swing dances, parades, State Fair of Texas, and even some jazz funerals. Sometimes we have more musicians join us or swing dancers who always add some fun to the mix. Other settings call for a smaller, quieter group. If you are planning a dinner, cocktail hour or brunch you might enjoy having my trio or quartet to create a classy, jazzy ambiance for the occasion. Club/restaurant proprietors might like that style for weekend brunches. We can offer a variety of music from "soft and sweet" to "Bourbon Street."

The Dave Washburn Jazz band truly delivered! We had an outdoor venue, and everyone had a great time. The band sounded fantastic and read the crowd very well. We had a dancefloor brought in and the band had many of our guests dancing! We received many comments about our event and almost everyone mentioned how great the band was. They were very easy to work with. I would highly recommend The Dave Washburn Jazz band for your event. We will definitely be booking them again for future events. - Texas State Railroad

If you have an opportunity to see these wonderful musicians play, you simply must. They are artistic perfection. My husband and I love New Orleans, and Dave Washburn's band is our French Quarter heaven right here in Dallas! Every member of the group is unbelievable talented, and their love of and respect for music translates into every note they play. They keep the crown singing, dancing, and head-bobbing for hours. Dave has a dreamy voice and a great sense of humor: truly a great band leader. They played at our wedding, laying the perfect groundwork for a joyous life. Support this band: A Local Treasure!

We had a private celebration at our home and hired Dave and his band. Leading up to it, he spent time answering all of my questions so I knew how the evening would flow. He also answered all of my questions and handled requests for himself and the band. Load-in was on time with all members. The music was just perfect and amazing for our Roaring 20's Gatsby themed party. The music was just amazing. In addition to Dave's singing, he brought in a guest singer, Ruby Weston. Dave and band were great and Ruby was delicious icing on the cake! Appropriate breaks were taken and they played until the set end time of the party with no issues. Load-out was quick and easy. Dave was fantastic to work with on the planning and made it easy for me, the host. I know that I didn't have to worry about the band or members on event night. Rock solid, professional band. I HIGHLY recommend them for your event. Talk to Dave with your thoughts on your event. He helped me shape this and did not ru
