The Dip is a Seattle-based Rhythm and Blues band that is known for its poignant songwriting, detailed arrangements, and vintage sound. Featuring a three-piece horn section, the group’s music harkens back to earlier soul and funk influences while hinting at the jazz foundations that brought the band’s members together. 

With a distinct sonic character that has drawn in millions of listeners to date, The Dip released their latest, fourth full-length studio album 'Love Direction' in July 2024. It is their second with Dualtone Records, the follow-up to 2022’s 'Sticking With It' which landed at #1 on the Billboard Current R&B Albums Chart.

The band headlined and sold out shows at iconic venues across the country last year including San Francisco's legendary Fillmore, Washington DC's 9:30 Club, Webster Hall in New York, Austin's historic Scoot Inn, two nights at Thalia Hall in Chicago and two hometown shows at The Showbox in Seattle. They have also had the opportunity to support new friends like The Black Pumas and The Teskey Brothers, while also appearing at major festivals including Bonnaroo and Outside Lands.
