What our private party clients are saying about the band.

Dear Chris, Billy, David, and Thom,

James and I are so grateful that you made the trip to CT to play at our wedding. We can't express how happy we were that you were there. It was so refreshing to hear your music during the night and our quests loved dancing and watching you perform. I'm so glad we stumbled into Chez Oskar last October...you really set the tone we were hoping for for our wedding day. Best, Jessica Guerrette & James Vanderberg 10/11/08 wedding Farmington, CT

Dear Chris and Band,

You guys were just incredible and gave the wedding and cocktail hour the exact vibe we had hoped for...what luck we were walking through Central Park that day to stumble upon you guys.
Jason and Melody Dorin
UN 6/20/08 cocktail hour


To Chris Pistorino and The Blue Vipers,

Thank you for making my wedding so much fun! I appreciate that you let my dad sing, too. He loved it. Please feel free to refer other clients to me if they would like to hear a stunningly positive recommendation. Thanks again,
Janet Choi
8/6/07 wedding


PRESS

"The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn turned the whole damn (Big Tent at The Rochester Jazz Festival) into a swingin' Tin Pan Alley. The Blue Vipers' drummer apparently never graduated from the kitchen, as his whole set up was a lapful of odds and ends that he binged, banged, whacked, and attacked with thimbled digits like a Dixieland foley stage." By Frank De Blase on Jun. 15th, 2008, Rochester City Newspaper

TAXI A&R review
Oct. 5th 2007
"Excellent musicianship and cool, New Orleans/Ragtime/Dixieland Jazz elements. Very Nice all around with a solid vocal performance, as well.

TIME OUT NEW YORK KIDS

BEST LIVE MUSIC BRUNCH :THE BLUE VIPERS AT SUPERFINE
"Throngs of children and their minders head to this loft like Dumbo eatery on Sundays ready to rock out, and not to kiddie tunes from some lame band."

IDOL UNDERGROUND
GOTHAMIST Aug. 5th, 2007
"The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn made us think of an act that we would hear on A Prairie Home Companion."

CONCRETEBEAT
March 2007
"The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn are a rare treat even in New York City."

LINCOLN CENTER OUT OF DOORS
Aug. 20th 2006
"The Blue Vipers of Brooklyn play old-time music from 1910 to the 1940's, just like your hip great-grandma's great collection of scratchy 78s."

InfluencesFats Waller, Joe Turner, Louis Armstrong, Willie Dixon, Hank Williams Sr., Les Paul and Mary Ford, Tuba Fats, The Mills Brothers
