...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 event.

We
've performed for all sorts of clients -
businesses and individuals, corporate and private events, product launches, store openings, plus gatherings and celebrations of all types...
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, or for the Harry Potter author J.K Rowling's first visit to New York - last but not least to countless parties and weddings in venues large and small all over town.

We're based in Manhattan and perform all over New York City, the Tri State area, DC, Boston and beyond.

Tim Otto


Led by saxophonist Tim Otto since 1993, the Bluetones include some of the finest musicians playing in the New York area. Tim performs regularly in New York with the Bluetones, and has performed and recorded with many other jazz, blues and rock bands including the swing/latin sensations The Last of the International Playboys, rock band Firewater, 90 year old blues legend Pinetop Perkins (Grammy Lifetime Achievement award recipient), the Big Apple Circus, plus many others, including music for film, TV, and theater. 

The group is usually a quintet featuring sax, guitar, keyboard, bass and drums, but we can provide any size band, smaller or larger to fit your event and requests. If you're looking to add a singer, we work with several great vocalists. Cost varies depending on the number of musicians, the length of the event, and location.
