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.
