As guests arrive
Martinis cold, volume low
Bossa, ballads and cool jazz under the conversation.
Live music. A cut above.
Sound? Check.Vibe? Check.
Exceptional musicians. An instinct for atmosphere.
We bring the right talent to deliver exactly what you have in mind, from an intimate dinner to a rooftop crowd, a company celebration or a weekend worth the trip.
Blue Velvet Live
A great band changes the temperature of a room. Guests lean in, stay later, and talk about it for years.
We hand-pick the best musicians for black-tie galas, corporate celebrations, private clubs, wineries, weddings, mountain resorts, and legendary parties that run well past midnight. Every player is someone we have shared the stage with for years.
Your event
Customized moods
No two evenings have the same flow. Your event deserves its own soundtrack. We shape the music to fit your event design. Here’s an example night to spark ideas.
At the table
Under the chandeliers
Brushes on the snare, the Songbook, and room for the toasts.
When the floor opens
When the ties come off
Sinatra and Basie to Motown, the Beatles, Aretha and every decade since.
And yes, we take requests.
Plan your evening
Good sound gets around
The password? A friend’s name.
Like any good speakeasy, we're easiest to find through someone who's already been.
Most of our calendar comes by word of mouth. Tell us who sent you, and we'll take it from there.
Destinations
From Seattle to Sonoma to Sun Valley
Ballrooms and rooftops, vineyard estates, mountain lodges and island retreats. Based in Seattle, we bring the band wherever the event is, across the Northwest and the West, and we handle the travel.
About
Twenty-plus years on Northwest stages
Blue Velvet Live was founded by a working musician who has spent more than twenty years playing clubs, concert halls and private events across the region. We know who plays beautifully, who shows up early, and who reads a room as well as a chart.
That's the whole idea: a short list of exceptional players, put together with care, for planners and hosts who notice the difference.
