Rouge

Rouge's evocative music and great showmanship allows them to do knock-out performances or play more inward for an elegant, fun atmosphere. 

Rouge plays lots of good variety:   up-beat waltzes, tangos, ballads and jazzy swing tunes (with emphasis on the joyous, fast waltzes!).   Great musicians, great instrumentation, classy outfits and lots of finesse from 10 plus years together.

They are very much in demand for benefits, private parties, corporate events, festivals, weddings, museum art openings, conferences, colleges, schools, dances and concerts around the western U.S.   Rouge has played repeatedly at the Four Seasons/Fairmont Olympic Hotel, Microsoft, Seattle's Out to Lunch, the Portland Art Museum, Spokane's Center Stage, Benaroya Hall's Founders Room and the Chateau Ste. Michelle, among many others.

The full band consists of vocalist Janet Rayor, accordionist Steve Rice, violinist Ruthie Dornfeld, bass player Cary Black and guitarist Dave Bartley.  (Note: Double bass may be added for larger events or a trio may be used for smaller events.)
