DTW

DTW is an American horn band that fuses Jazz, Funk, R&B, and Swing into one unique sound. Founded 2013, DTW has grown from a small group of five musicians to a multi-faceted 10-piece ensemble that has found a home playing large stages and intimate rooms alike. With two records out and a third one in the works, DTW continues their creative upwards trajectory through the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

As the Pacific Northwest has grown into a well known cultural exporter, DTW has grown with it and has created some exciting new offerings. Specializing in music that will inspire you to get up and move, DTW’s lineup of musical brewmasters have perfected their recipe, serving you a strong flavor of groove with hints of classic horn bands and a mind melting R&B finish. “Craft Music” is what we do, and DTW embraces PNW culture by staying fresh, independent, and focused on supporting the local musical community.

But what does it mean?

If we had a nickel for every time someone asked what DTW stands for, we would have infinitely more money than we have ever received from Spotify. As DTW has grown in size and style, we realized that one name just wasn’t enough to represent our musical ambitions. Discuss the Weather, Deepening Theological Wisdom, Drink The Wine; you’ll see each DTW member, and even some fans, sporting their own phrase of choice. We have a DTW name for absolutely any occasion, but if that’s too much to remember just keep it simple: keep it DTW. To see our ever growing list of DTW names, go here: DTW Acronyms.
