Blu Monsoon is one of the most sought after music groups in Ohio averaging over 120 public performances per year at music venues, restaurants, wineries and special events such as The Tri-C Jazz Fest. 107.3FM The Wave, in Cleveland has been playing their music since 2018. Their first single, "Low Tide" made it to number 1. Their 2019 follow-up, "You Know That's Right," peaked at number 3. The Smooth Jazz Network aired both songs nationwide.
In addition to original instrumental music, they play standards such as "Fly Me to the Moon" and "Autumn Leaves." They also play unique arrangements of pop hits from diverse artists such as Maroon 5, Amy Winehouse and Arianna Grande.
Blu monsoon was a very professional and entertaining band for our company's holiday party. The music is excellent, and they were very easy to work with on a few of our specific preferences. I would highly recommend them for any event. Their music sets a relaxing, festive mood.

We are strictly instrumental and most of our music is original and could fall into the jazz, smooth jazz, fusion or funk genres. Typically we play as a basic trio including piano, bass, and drum cocktail kit. However, based on your preference, we can play "unplugged" with piano, bass and drum box(cajon) or full instrumentation including multiple keyboards, electric guitar(extra charge and based on availability) and full drum kit. Our goal is to please you and your audience. We are happy to discuss your ideas.

Comments from new fans:
“…Truly amazing...a blend of current and old favorites. Would love to have them come play at our wedding venue/conference facility, The Grand Barn, in the Mohican Valley area of Ohio.” – L.M.
“I am glad we ended up at Danny Boy's Saturday instead of where we were supposed to go. Loved your music and so glad I bought the CD so I can hear it all the time. Hope to hear you again soon!” – M.S.
"Blu Monsoon was spectacular! We were very impressed with their performance and professionalism. We look forward to having you all back..." - D.D.
