About Swing That Cat
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
Born out of a simple idea and 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 the Sonic Cocktail of Jump Blues swizzled with Horny Swing, a dash of Cabaret, and a splash of Bourbon Street. This female-led band, backed by hepcats howling “Yo Philly” with horns, flute, guitar, bass and drums, have earned their stripes at shows and streaming around the world. Swing That Cat has just released a new full length studio album "LEAP" on vinyl.

Their name, meaning "Galactic Butterflies," reflects their transcendent sound, blending African, Indigenous South American, and Eastern European influences. Their music is a hypnotic, soul-stirring journey that uplifts spirits, defies adversity, and fosters community and inclusivity through electrifying performances.
