After playing bodhran in a Celtic music band called Celtic Knot for several years, I got together with some friends and created an oldies jazz band called The Wildcats: "A classic big band era oldies jazz band that plays the most popular jazz of the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's - with an occasional surprise thrown into the mix." Featuring Mary Grace Lodico on keyboard, the late Bill "Doc" Stecher on synthesizer, Rick Eilerts on upright bass, George Jones on guitar and Alan McRae on drums, this classic oldies jazz quintet can transport you back in time via the romantic music of the Big Band Era - a classier & more civilized era when couples "dressed to the nine's" for an elegant evening out on the town
