March 26, 2012Dee and 5 members of her band played the first 2 hours of my party. They were professional & personable before, during and after the performance. They looked great (I had a black & white themed event and asked them to dress accordingly) and most importantly they sounded amazing. Folks loved them. My only regret is they didn't play longer.

Dee Stone is a gifted vocalist and songwriter. She's also a mesmerizing, world-class performer. She calls her style “progressive rhythm and blues” and owns the stage with funked-up, bluesy, jazzy, rock & soul hotness. Backed by a superb power trio, her performances bring audiences to their feet.
A veteran of the Washington, DC music scene and beyond, Dee has performed at festivals, private events, and local venues including Blues Alley and Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club. In addition to fronting the Dee Stone Band since 1996, she was also the vocal half of the WAMMIE-nominated duo Stone/Wright.
With a 4-octave voice, impeccable chops, and intelligent, thought-provoking lyrics, Dee Stone is a one-of-a-kind artist born for the stage. Riding the tight, punchy grooves of her band, she’s on a soulful mission to enhance the human experience in her own unique way. And when she flashes that smile of hers, you'll know she’s glad to have you along for the ride.
