Meet The Beat Hotel, a high-energy 10-piece ensemble rooted in New Orleans swamp funk with R&B, soul, blues, and a commanding horn section. Centered in the Mid-Atlantic, especially Washington, DC, they bring a danceable groove, tight vocal harmonies, and bold horn arrangements to every show. Led by lead vocalist Lauren Cattaneo and musical director Bruce Blaylock, the band also features a versatile lineup including Andrew Ratliff, Francis Thompson, Justine Miller, Bruce Swaim, Doug Elliott, Ariel Francis, and Mercedes Mill. If you’re looking for a show that combines soulful sunshine with streetwise funk, The Beat Hotel delivers at every gig.
