Sunny Side Jazz Band is based out of New Orleans, Louisiana. They are heavily influenced by the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, and many other early jazz legends.
Sunny Side provides a full New Orleans-style jazz band experience with three-part harmonies, a solid rhythm section, and an energetic vocalist and dancer.
In 2024 Sunny Side is planning their fourth national tour stopping in cities and towns between New Orleans, New York, and Ohio playing a variety of shows including several swing dance events.
Victoria Doutón is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Montevideo, Uruguay. She studied classical flute at the National Conservatory of Music in Montevideo as well as the Montevideo University School of Music.
Victoria has spent time in different countries across the globe — music has taken her to Venezuela, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil.
After a few years in Rio de Janeiro, she moved to the USA, initially settling in Austin. She began collaborating with world-renowned international musicians, and eventually made her way to New Orleans. There she is fully immersed in the rich musical culture that is the foundation of American music.
She’s been in New Orleans for five years, where she is currently recording her first album.
Her travels have inspired her to write music that goes from Afro-South American rhythms to contemporary jazz. Her music combines the different cultures and places she’s been traveling to create a rich and multi-hued sonic tapestry.
