DB Orchestra

Lively, loud, and local, the DB Orchestra is one of the hottest new bands in Madison. Led by Andy Kerber, this group combines the nuanced harmonies of a Doo-Wop group, the intensity of a marching band, and the flair of great jazz ensembles of yesteryear. The DBO sets the stage for an infectiously fun and uniquely electric live performance. Expect to hear everything from timeless swinging hits from the 1930s and ’40s, rock’n’roll classics, show tune medleys, and even some tracks on the radio today. With a roster of nearly 20 musicians, the hot horns, smooth saxes, and driving drums of the DB Orchestra will keep your head humming and toes tapping long after the show’s over.

We offer customized versions of our band and set list to fit your event. In addition to our seventeen-person big band, we can perform as a smaller version of our big band, a 5-piece, or a polka band. For ceremonies, we can provide custom wind ensembles.

Our experience with choosing an appropriate set list and instrumentation includes the following events. We are happy to guide you through the process. Follow the links below for more information on specific events.

Our stripped-down version of the big band (The DB Octet), is great for smaller or more laid-back wedding receptions, or outdoor events with nearby neighbors.
