Wholly Cats Swing Club
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 ก.พ. 2022
Wholly Cats Swing Club are ambassadors of the Music of The Great Swing Era, inspired by the music Benny Goodman and Charlie Christian. They have quickly gained a local following as the premier Swing Band in Tucson, Arizona, performing at dance and jazz venues in the area while helping give rise to the live local swing dance scene.
The band was formed by Marc Rosen on clarinet/tenor sax and Tony Spear on guitar, whose mutual love of these artists sparked an idea for a dance band with multi-generational appeal. In addition to the songs of Goodman and Christian, their repertoire includes popular classic hits by Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima and even contemporary artists like Tom Waits and Imelda May. Original music by the band is coming soon!
