First Saturdays at Dopo Ora: Jazz, Soul & The Unexpected

Every first Saturday, the room shifts. The lights dim, the cocktails flow, and the music takes over. Dopo Ora’s First Saturday Jazz Series brings together artists who respect the roots of jazz while stretching it into soul, blues, funk, R&B, and modern groove. Some nights feature true jazz purists delivering timeless standards and virtuoso improvisation. Other nights lean into jazz-forward genres—where soul, rhythm, and modern sounds collide with the spirit of jazz.

That’s the magic of it. You never quite know what direction the night will take—but you know it will be good.

This is not background music. It’s a night built for people who appreciate live artistry, thoughtful cocktails, and a room full of energy. A diverse crowd of music lovers, creatives, professionals, and couples gather to experience something rare in Northern Virginia—a true listening room vibe with a social pulse.

Seats fill quickly and capacity is intentionally limited to preserve the intimate speakeasy atmosphere.

Expect:
• World-class jazz musicians and rising talent
• Soulful performances that cross genres and generations
• Curated small plates and craft cocktails
• A stylish crowd and an unforgettable Saturday night energy

Some come for the music. Some come for the atmosphere.
The ones who know come early.
