Phat Cat Swinger

Phat Cat Swinger is Hollywood’s premier 11-piece little-big band, spearheading a high-energy pop-swing revolution on the global stage. Brainchild of founder and master saxophonist Marco Palos, this Los Angeles powerhouse features a dual-frontman dynamic, with Palos stepping forward to share center-stage lead-singer responsibilities alongside his partner, American Idol favorite Blake Lewis. Together with a world-class 5-piece horn section and a driving rhythm line, they completely transform massive pop, rock, and new wave hits from the 1960s to today into hard-swinging, brass-heavy masterpieces.

Driven by their strict rule of ‘real horns, real choreography, and pure live energy,’ Phat Cat Swinger has carved out a legendary footprint in pop culture. They are a celebrated staple of The Disneyland Resort stages and have starred in iconic music videos for music royalty including Christina Aguilera and the Jonas Brothers. Hand-selected by Hollywood director J.J. Abrams to play for Bad Robot Productions, and chosen by the U.S. Embassy to represent American music abroad, they remain the gold standard for luxury gala entertainment and elite corporate event booking.

Seamlessly colliding the vintage swagger of Frank Sinatra with the modern stadium energy of Bruno Mars, Phat Cat Swinger delivers an unforgettable, dance-floor-packing show experience that continues to redefine what a modern big band can do. Welcome to the new era of swing.
