I’m a jazz singer performing regularly in the San Diego area with my band. You can see us frequently at the Bamboo Lounge in Hillcrest on most Saturday nights.
This isn’t your typical, boring, background-music-style of jazz. It isn’t overly academic or elitist either. We play jazz with a blues sensibility, and we play blues with a jazz sensibility. When we show up, we’ve come to swing, to belt, and make everybody feel good. We love a crowd that comes to drink, to dance, to sing along, and have a great time. Come check us out at one of the gigs posted on this page.
We work primarily as a featured act, and if you are interested in booking us, contact us through MySpace or email royalbluejazz@hotmail.com

What's up Jo - How's Life? Haven't heard from you guys in awhile. I think we should all get together in the combo room for a rehearsal/reunion one of these days. Hope all is well - talk to you soon! Darren :-)
Hey - do mind if I post our dates on my page as well? Peace, Love, and MUSIC!! ps: gave Chris his first lesson today - FAST LEARNER! Thanks for relaying the info to me. :-)
Damn! Look at all those dates! How exciting! I hope the list keeps growing. Nice set on Saturday - I was a little off balance the first set - too much in the head! Wanted to know if you or the J-Man know anything about City Fest? Chris mentioned it to me on Sat. :-)
A Doe is a Deer, a Female Deer, or Antelope, Goat, Rabbit, and certain other animals... Just in case you've been wondering.
