Styx is turning 42! DON'T PANIC there are AT LEAST another 42 left to go (maybe 142). Come celebrate with Swing That Cat! What more could you ask for from a band that sounds like Jump Blues swizzled in Horny Swing, with dash of Cabaret Jazz, and a splash of Bourbon Street.

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. Backed by Chris Peraino (Rhythm Guitar), Sam Harasink (Bass), Styx Latte (Drums), David Graham (Saxophones), and a rotating cast of crazy cats on Horns, who all call Philly / South Jersey their home.
Formed in 2013, Swing That Cat has carved out a niche with a seductive sound, and live shows that encourage their audiences to shimmy and shake.
Earning their stripes from the show to the radio, Swing That Cat has been featured at Musikfest, the Sellersville Theater, Ladybug Festival, as a finalist in PHL Live competition and the WSTW Hometown Heroes as Best Frontperson and Best Live Band. Their first album, “3 to Get Ready, 4 to Go!” was recorded live and featured on radio, podcasts and streams around the world. Swing That Cat is releasing their follow-up studio album in 2022.
