Swing That Cat

Born out of a simple idea and a love of good music, ~ Swing That Cat! ~ is on a mission, with a message: Dance Your Tail Off! What more could you ask for from a band that sounds like Jump Blues swizzled in Horny Swing, with a splash of Bourbon Street and dash of Cabaret. Front and center is Michele Peraino,, a modern-day Rita Hayworth meets Catwoman, with a vocal range and style drawn from another era, blending the sultry Jazz sound of Sarah Vaughan, and Rosemary Clooney, with the bawdy early Rock and Roll roar of Etta James. On stage, her voice combines with a penchant for performing, as Michele creates a hypnotic expression of the rhythm that entrances the audience and engages them in the performance. But hang on for the twist - Swing That Cat! also features Hugh Alan Luck on flute as their Lead Guitarist

Tom Glenn

After spending the last 20 years in the Boston Area, I recently returned to my home town of Philadelphia. It's been a pleasure to reconnect with the Philly music scene! I've recently had the opportunity to perform and record with old friends and new-all of whom are incredibly talented and supportive in a way unique to this area! I recently finished the jazz CD entitled “SHUFFLE TIME”. It features mostly original compositions and some fabulous players: Tom Adams (Piano), Andy Lalasis (Bass), Grant MacAvoy (Drums), Denis DiBlasio (Bari-Sax/Flute) and Tony DeSantis (Trumpet/Flugelhorn). We recorded the CD directly to tape at RADScape Studios owned by Randy Weaver
