About

Good Shot Judy specializes in delivering top-notch Classic Vocal Jazz and recreating the classic nightclub entertainment feel of Las Vegas in its prime. Think Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Count Basie, glitz and glamour. Real entertainment from an era that was not only filled with great singers, performers, and great songs, but whose legacy has become synonymous with what great entertainment really is. It doesn’t end there though. Possessing a large repertoire of classic swingin’ big band hits, Good Shot Judy is also equally adept at delivering classic ballads, and cocktail music.

Performing in configurations as small as a jazz trio, and as large as the twelve-piece big band gives the group the versatility to meet the needs of virtually any client. From intimate cocktail parties, brunches, and weddings, to festivals, corporate events, and large theater shows, Good Shot Judy can customize the group size and repertoire to perfectly compliment the atmosphere and budget of almost any event. In addition, every member who performs in any Good Shot Judy configuration is a seasoned professional. From cruise ships, to sports stadiums, we’ve logged thousands of performances between us, at every type of venue you can think of, so you can rest assured that your guests will enjoy being entertained by professional performers.

From the swingin’ sounds of Sinatra, Basie, and contemporaries like Michael Buble, and Harry Connick Jr., to the beautiful ballads of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and back to the high energy Latin Dance big band sound, Good Shot Judy has got you covered! Now... Let it Swing Baby!

Reviews of Good Shot Judy

Our absolute favorite!

Let me start by saying that my now-husband and I met through swing dancing, so we've known Good Shot Judy through that for some time now. I am not exaggerating when I tell people that my now-husband proposed, I said yes, and then I said "and we're hiring Good Shot Judy as our band". It was THE (second) easiest decision of the whole process.

Brett is great to work with, and communicated well throughout the entire process. He and the band learned a song that is not in their repertoire (or their style of music at all) at my request to surprise my husband with during the reception. They also learned a few new songs for my first dance with my mom too. They were more than happy to pipe in any music that we wanted played that wasn't something they covered (such as for cake cutting, bouquet toss, and procession during the ceremony).

We knew when we hired them that all of our dance friends would enjoy seeing them again and dancing to them, but that our non-dance friends would get an amazing show as well. They even accommodated by bringing in a former band member at our request that we really love! Their female singer was new to the group but did an AMAZING job as well, we hope to see her at more concerts in the future!

We LOVE Good Shot Judy!

We hired Good Shot Judy to perform as a jazz trio at our welcome party the night before the wedding at the Williamsburg Inn, and they were absolutely fabulous! Booking with them was a breeze, Brett is flexible and communicative, and the performance was wonderful! They added such a fun, lively element to the party - and the guests LOVED them! Highly recommend!

Go hire GSJ now

So if you are on the fence about hiring GSJ, don't be. They were absolutely incredible and truly made it "the best party ever" according to one attendee. If you are looking for something to elevate your wedding to the next level, look no further because GSJ will make it amazing.

GCCC Annual Mardi Gras Dinner and Awards

Good Shot Judy played for the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce starting more than 5 years ago, each year for our Annual Mardi Gras Dinner. They are not only talented, professional and a real joy to listen to they make the whole room energized! The Chamber and Attendees love to have them perform! We had a blast and would definitely have them back in the future. They always do an amazing job and we love them!!

They know how to work a crowd!

Good Shot Judy really knows how to work a crowd! They provided low key background music during dinner, and then ratcheted it up to give our guests a swinging time following our auction. Our guests loved them!

Made the wedding

There is no other DJ or band that I would have rather had. The performance felt flawless and the energy was perfect for the room. I'm not kidding when I say that at any given moment half the room was on the dance floor. Thank you Good Shot Judy!

Turns a party into an Event Everyone will Remember

I could not be happier with Good Shot Judy. They worked with me planning my music and my day on top of putting on the best live show in Virginia AT LEAST!

A fantastic swing band!

Good Shot Judy performed at our summer concert series in Reston, VA and were such a hit! Their repertoire includes the classics and contemporary swing, guaranteed to keep the crowd lindy-hopping all night. Musically, they are top notch, and singer Brett Cahoon's velvety vocals are the icing on the cake. And they're such nice, accommodating people; they'll help you customize your event so it's perfect. I highly recommend them.
