Bluetone

...an event music alternative,  something cool, something hot,
sophisticated with a bohemian soul...

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

With a repertoire that ranges from classic swing to modern and latin jazz, the blues, soul and beyond, New York City based band Tim Otto & the Bluetones can provide music for any type of event in the city or tri-state area.
We've performed for all sorts of clients (see sidebar) from a private dinner for the global heads of Merrill Lynch, to a jazz trio at MOMA or Restaurant Daniel, to the launch of This Old House Magazine, to the author of the Harry Potter book series J.K Rowling's first visit to New York, and last but not least to countless weddings in venues large and small all over town.
We've played for businesses and individuals at corporate and private events, parties, product launches and store openings plus gatherings and celebrations of all types. We're based in Manhattan and perform all over New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut, DC, Boston and beyond.
