Description
Imagine yourself relaxing on a steamboat as it lazily floats down the Mississippi River all the way to The Big Easy. Suddenly, the band strikes up a tune, music fills the air and everyone is on their feet, clapping, dancing and singing along. Welcome to the world of Roosevelt Dime, a five-piece, Brooklyn, N.Y.-based band that blends elements of acoustic jug-band blues, classic New Orleans soul and neo-folk to create an original sound best described as Kings County Steamboat Soul. The band's nontraditional lineup — consisting of banjo, electric and washtub basses, percussion, trumpet and woodwinds — and seamless mixture of musical genres has been described as "a perpetual crowd-pleaser" by the New York Times.
Roosevelt Dime specializes in custom tailored music for weddings! Whatever your vision, the most important thing is that the celebration is just right for you. Whether it's a slanted sun cocktail hour after the "I do's" or passed hors d'oeuvres under the stars, if you're thinking of a quiet set of instrumental standards or you want a barn-shaking wedding reception dance party, Roosevelt Dime's vintage wedding music mix is the perfect choice for you. With roots anchored in dixieland jazz, blues and bluegrass, timeless standards and classic hits, Roosevelt Dime's music floats among lavender rimmed apertifs with sets of cocktail hour favorites, ushers couples down the aisle with custom wedding ceremony music, and takes the wedding night effortlessly from dinner to dancing with music tailored to your affair.
