The Flat Cats’ blend of vintage and modern music
includes the hottest swinging jazz & blues, standards,
contemporary classics, and toe-tapping western swing and is
guaranteed to entertain you whether you choose to listen or
you just can’t avoid the dance floor! The group
is comprised of local musicians with years of performing,
arranging, and composing experience and has a classic
appeal of top quality musicianship, style, and spirit.
The Flat Cats have had the pleasure of performing at many
different venues and events throughout the Midwest, among
them Navy Pier, the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, IL, the
Willowbrook Ballroom in Willow Springs, IL, the Pete
Miller’s restaurants, Green Dolphin Street, and the
Summerdance series in Grant Park. The band has backed
legendary singing groups such as the Drifters, the
Crystals, Peggy March, and the Marcels, as part of
the Ultimate Doo-Wop show at venues such as the Chicago
Theatre, Star Plaza Theater, and the Pabst Theater.
The Flat Cats perform their music equally well in any
environment, from smoky jazz for your dinner event to a
full theater/stadium show for thousands. The variety
of the music library and the versatility of these talented
musicians allows us to tailor our sound and style to fit
any event or venue, from weddings to corporate events to a
feature act for your festival.
The Flat Cats are an amazing group of talented and
experienced musicians.
