Reservoir Frogs
French, Fun, Rock n' Roll
Bonjour,
We are the Reservoir Frogs.
We play cover music from France, our homeland, and blend it up with classic rock ‘n’ roll from the English-speaking world.
Reservoir Frogs is more than just a cover band.
Supported by the French Embassy staff association, we sing the songs that delight our fellow French expats in the U.S.A. while mixing in some internationally beloved hits. Imagine a sultry blend of classic rock and folksy French music, as if Jacques Dutronc and Vanessa Paradis got together with the Beatles and Queen for an overnight jam session. O là là…
Reservoir Frogs was originally formed as a band of Embassy staff.
We've since grown to include other members of the French community from the DMV area.
Yet all throughout our life as a band, one thing has never changed:
our French soul and the satisfying blend of awesome tunes we serve up.Check out our Youtube channel here.
Upcoming shows:
Come join us for European Music Day at the Sylvan Theater on the National Mall.

Different setting, same energy:
French American Chamber of Commerce event at the French embassy.Why the name?
Our name refers to the street where the Embassy of France is located in D.C., Reservoir Road.
It’s also a not-so-subtle nod to Tarantino’s iconic film.
Yet more interesting perhaps is “frog,” a warmhearted nickname that Brits use to refer their pastry-loving neighbors across the Channel. The origins of “frog,” however, are unclear: it perhaps refers their penchant for amphibian thighs, or to the people who once lived in La Grenouillère, the swampy, marshy lowlands outside of Paris where frogs were abundant. No one really knows for sure…
