Old Hollywood Glam! Top jazz singer Judy Chamberlain & her Dallas & Los Angeles wedding bands play live jazz, swing & big band dance music for magical, memorable weddings & events. CA, TX, AZ, OK, USA
Not your typical Dallas or Los Angeles wedding band…or wedding singer!!
An award-winning entertainment company, singer/bandleader Judy Chamberlain’s unique live music boutique provides extraordinary wedding musicians, jazz bands and an incomparable big band orchestra for destination and celebrity weddings, parties, private concerts and fundraisers in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Santa Barbara, Palm Springs, Newport Beach, La Jolla, Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Tyler, Fort Worth, Dallas, Southlake, Tulsa and throughout California, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma and the USA.
The musicians who perform in our Los Angeles, California and Dallas, Texas swing bands, jazz and wedding bands are polite, well-dressed and outrageously talented. Most are internationally recognized; some are Grammy winners. You’ve heard and seen them on your favorite albums and TV shows; they are literally the finest virtuoso soloists, improvisers, arrangers and ensemble players on the planet.
We’re small enough to fit in a phone booth or morph into an entire swinging jazz orchestra. You can dance to everything we play…or not.
Most importantly, we believe that this is all about you, and your family and friends — not about us — although we’re as comfortable putting on a show as we are playing behind some palm trees in the corner. We do a whole lot more than just show up and play some music. Want to marry or party like a billionaire? We’re the secret ingredient.
Our Los Angeles and Dallas wedding musicians have performed and recorded with Frank Sinatra, Michael Buble, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Ray Charles, The Temptations, The Commodores, The Supremes, The Platters, The Drifters, The Coasters, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight, Gloria Gaynor, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Beck, Justin Timberlake, Bette Midler, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Barbra Streisand, Norah Jones and The Tonight Show Band, to name just a few.
Crooner extraordinaire Chamberlain’s personalized approach to event and wedding music is the complete antithesis of the cookie-cutter syndrome. She’ll show you how to use live music like expertly drawn images on your own unique canvas. Judy Chamberlain Entertainment brings unsurpassable knowledge and professionalism to their clients, helping them have the most magical, memorable wedding or event anyone they know has ever attended.
For the most important occasions of a lifetime, there can be no dress rehearsals.

Modern vintage live music for WOW Factor weddings and events!
Our fabulous 4,000 song repertoire of Old Hollywood, Roaring Twenties, Mid-Century Moderne, Rat Pack, Motown, Great American Songbook, Broadway and movie music is legendary; it’s the best of 1920′s, 1930′s, 1940′s, 1950′s, 1960′s and 1970′s jazz, swing, big band, rock & roll, doo-wop, R & B, soul, funk, classic country and show tunes.
Think Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Elvis, The Beatles, Mad Men and Glee all rolled into one big, beautiful package of exciting live music and you pretty much have the picture.
You can dance to everything we play…or not.
Thoroughly modern yet ostalgic and evocative, the music we play takes you deep within yourself to a wonderful time and place — even if you were never there.
Foxtrot, waltz, tango, rumba, jitterbug or get down and boogie when we’re in the house…or just sit back, relax, mingle with your friends and enjoy yourself. Yes, we know how to “pack a dance floor,” but we’re just as comfortable putting on an impromptu concert and are often asked to do just that. Sometimes the best things happen when one least expects them. We love the element of surprise!
We’re like those old-fashioned bands you’ve seen on TCM late-night musicals, with everyone gathered around the bandstand calling out requests.
Bands like ours don’t really exist anymore, except perhaps in the movies.
“Jazz singer Judy Chamberlain solidly affirms the music’s far-reaching, continuing vitality.” Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times
Old Hollywood! Malibu…Palm Springs…Santa Barbara…Dallas, TX: Destination Moon!
An A-List wedding and event trendsetter, we play all the great tunes of the Twentieth Century, mixed and shaken — not stirred — in our big cocktail shaker and enlivened by fresh, modern arrangements. At once nostalgic, romantic and edgy, we pay homage to the intricacy of what the composers wrote.
We’re not a “cover band,” “tribute band” or “agency band.” Our musicians simply will not play with them.
We work with many exclusive private estates, hotels, country clubs, wineries, wedding coordinators and event planners and navigate parking louts, loading docks and site managers graciosly.
Long-distance planning for destination and celebrity weddings and events is a specialty and we often get the “first call” — before the date has been set or the venue booked.
Beginning with the first notes your guests hear us play, your entire wedding, party or event becomes a seamlessly-orchestrated Hollywood extravaganza.
It’s no coincidence that many of our clients are entertainers themselves.
“Singer/bandleader Judy Chamberlain has mastered the art of mesmerizing both the audience and her own band.” All-Music Guide
We play the FABULOUS music of the Twentieth Century: Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, The Mills Brothers, The Boswell Sisters, Peggy Lee, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Dinah Washington, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, The Platters, Bobby Darin, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Bob Wills, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, The Doors, The Eagles, The Mamas and the Papas, The Beach Boys, Karen Carpenter, Astrud Gilberto, Nina Simone, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler, Barbra Streisand, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall, Michael Buble and much, much more.
If Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Rogers & Hart, Rogers & Hammerstein, George & Ira Gershwin, Johnny Mandel, Johnny Mercer, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen or Hoagy Carmichael wrote it, you can bet it’s in our bottomless repertoire! We also adore anything associated with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and cinema noir movies, and play all of that music, too! ALL of it!
The people who hire us not only love the Great American Songbook, some of them actually wrote it.
I don’t know how she recalls this stuff, because she’s too young.” Al Rudis, Long Beach Press Telegram
“You’re just like the ‘Old Man,’ cookie.” Al Viola
“I LOVE YOU JUDY CHAMBERLAIN!” Jonne-Marie Switzler, Manager/Playboy Jazz Festivals
A Jazz Salute to Frank Sinatra
Judy Chamberlain is a renowned interpreter of Roaring Twenties, Great American Songbook, mid-century moderne and Frank Sinatra Rat Pack music. A warm, gracious entertainer and M/C, she is a music historian whose carefully curated repertoire spans every decade and genre of Twentieth Century American popular music.
Guitarist Al Viola, who toured and recorded with Frank Sinatra from 1955 to 1983, often pointed out similarities between Chamberlain and Sinatra, whom he affectionately called “the old man.”
“Judy takes care of business and sings the hell out of a tune the way he did,” said Viola. “She can come out of nowhere and take the pickup on the song — no warning — and the band is instantly with her because she gives great signals. I love working with her, because I’m never bored.”
A fourth-generation musician and native New Yorker named “one of the top jazz singers of all time” by author Scott Yanow, Chamberlain has been featured on E! Entertainment, The Style Network, ABC’s “The Bachelor” and in The Playboy Jazz Festival.
“Judy Chamberlain is an amazing torch singer, and I say that as someone who thoroughly and utterly detests jazz.” Rebecca Schoenkopf, OC Weekly
“ELLA-mentary Jazz!” Heather Wood, Long Beach Press Telegram
We know we’re doing something right when we have to beg people to get off the dance floor and sit down to eat their dinners.
Of course, we’re not a typical “wedding band.”
From classical, traditional or unusual wedding ceremony music to sleek modern vintage jazz, pop, ballroom and swing, Old Hollywood glamour, R&B, Latin, soul, funk and disco we really DO do it all — sometimes in the same set.
Guests at weddings and events often think they’re listening to a CD until they make their way through the ballroom, look up at the stage and realize we’re a live band.
“Hi from Toronto…you were awesome in Palm Springs, one of the best in the biz!” Naz Melconian, Videographer
Judy Chamberlain sings ‘At Last’ better than Etta James.” Shari Lightstone, Phoenix, AZ
From the glamour of an Old Hollywood wedding in Palm Springs to an elegant celebrity soiree at a private estate in Malibu…a traditional Asian wedding in the grand ballroom of a five star Beverly Hills hotel… a Roaring Twenties-themed corporate shindig in Los Angeles… or a destination wedding in La Jolla, Westlake Village or Big Sur, parties and events have a life of their own. No two are ever alike.
A full-service musical entertainment boutique based in California and Texas, we are available for travel throughout the USA.
We’re team players who have great relationships with other vendors — so much so that they hire us to perform at their own events!
WHile we cannot quote prices without knowing the details of your event, we are happy to discuss customized packages. Please give us a call, and we’ll provide a complimentary consultation.
