About
The Band
Deja Blu's music is a danceable mix of the very best of Classic & Contemporary Rock, Motown, Soul, Blues, Jazz & Swing with a kick of country. All 5 members of the band sing (male & female lead singers) thus, our song list is extensive & covers over 5 DECADES OF MUSIC, from the 60's to today's current hits. We can rock the house with a classic from The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Santana or a funky Motown tune. Looking for something more contemporary? From Fleetwood Mac, Journey and Bonnie Raitt to Rascal Flatts, Diana Krall and Bon Jovi- we know how to keep the dance floor filled.

Described as "an experience to savor", "Undeniable stage presence with extremely talented musicians" This band knows how to entertain an audience & have fun on stage. With fiery lead guitar solos, a solid rhythm section & a Hammond organ- the musicians are some of the best around. Add to this recipe 5 vocalists with harmonies that are especially tight & powerful- you get one of the best dance bands in Colorado.

The 5 members of Deja Blu have been together for over 8 years.  We do not substitute musicians. We specialize in weddings & our play list is extensive. We will gladly take requests to learn songs. We actually will learn the song (no reading charts off of music stands) This adds to our stage presence and allows our attention to be focused on you and your guests. We love what we do and it shows. We are very interactive and fun.  With wireless mics, we know how to fill a dance floor.  The photos say it all. We will gladly provide references.

Emails from previous brides:
"Nothing short of outstanding. Top notch professionalism start to finish. By the second song , all our wedding guests were on the dance floor for the evening. I heard nothing but fabulous comments from our wedding guests. The 20 somethings and 50 somethings and everyone in between (and older) all enjoyed the song list, excellent musicianship, great vocals and harmonies.  Everyone agreed Deja Blu was outstanding and just what the bride and groom asked for their reception...let’s dance the night away". The Sheridan Opera House- Telluride, Colorado

"We had the most amazing time with Deja Blu as the band for our wedding reception. They learned every song we talked to them about and they played them perfectly. Every person at our wedding danced and some lost the voice singing along with the band. It was the most fabulous time and I would recommend Deja Blu to anyone looking for a wedding to remember. It has been a month since our wedding and people are still talking about how much fun they had!" The Stanley Hotel-Estes Park, Colorado

“We HIGHLY recommend the TALENTED Deja Blu! My guests are still talking about them & that they sounded just like the original artists.Liz had people out on the floor singing & dancing from song #1. She has an unmatched charismatic personality and willingness for crowd participation. We really had the time of our lives, and Liz and her band really helped make that happen. We had an evening filled with the let loose, get crazy kind of fun we hoped for! Liz was VERY accommodating & dedicated to me. The band learned new songs & even took pictures & video of my special night! I felt like they truly wanted to make my night special. THEY DID! Deja Blu is worth every penny!" The Hilton Hotel-Nebraska

"The band incorporated 4 new songs into their repetoire and played them to perfection. The highlight of the night was a great rendition of the Pennsylvania Polka, in honor of the groom’s mother.  They were able to go from alternative, to jazz, to swing to a polka without missing a beat. Definately a great addition to a great wedding" The Club at Pradera- Parker, Colorado

"Deja Blu is amazing. The band was so much fun. They are fantastic musicians and have a great repertoire. Liz is very organized and does a tremendous job managing the band. Liz had great communication with me during the several months prior to my wedding to make sure everything was in place. I would recommend Deja Blu to anyone for any type of occasion." Lake Shore Lodge – Estes Park, Colorado

Additional Questions and Answers
My name is Liz Valles and I am the band manager and lead singer.  I am a professional business woman and I understand the coordination and logistics that go into hiring a top notch dance band. I have worked with many brides over the past 8 years and am very proud of the glowing feedback I have received from past brides on working with me throughout the entire time leading up to the big night. 

I am very attentive to the details, flexible and extremely easy to work with. I take great pride in being easlily accessable by phone and email.  With local events, I will request a walk through of the venue to ensure the proper placement of the band and  load in logistics for the band. I will spend time with you to review  the intinerary and song selection.  I have the experience of working with many brides and can offer up ideas and make suggestions so that you don’t have to worry about the entertainment. I want you to enjoy your special night and not worry a thing about the music and reception- let me do that for you.  If the venue has a wedding coordinator, I will meet with him/her to lay out the itineary and work with them through out the night to make sure we are on schedule and flexible to any changes that may come up.

Not sure if you want a DJ or live music? Feel free to call me for a free consultation.  I would be more than happy to talk to you about your wedding and give you honest answers.  I can also mail you a press kit that contains live video/audio on the band along with our most current play list and more information on Deja Blu.

Thank you so much for your consideration.
