Biography

I have been fronting, singing and playing sax/trumpet for over 20 years and know what is required to make a party go into full swing. I'm passionate about our band and ensure we provide first class entertainment for our booker such that they will pass on the good comments and promote us further.
We I nteract fully with the audience and create a buzzy atmosphere.
This is about ensuring that we exceed the customer expectations way above and beyond.
We run Kal's Kats as a swing band and have another band called The Kalamazoo Dance Band which is a Glenn Miller big band presenting in US Army ... Air Force uniforms creating the magic of the 40's and swing era - both bands are guaranteed to make a night to remember !!
