  Episode 44 - Michele and Chris Peraino

  Aug 13, 20261h 29mS1

  Michele and Chris Peraino are the driving force behind Swing that Cat, the dynamic retro-meets-modern band that blends jump, blues, swing, cabaret and New Orleans jazz into an upbeat style that they describe as a "sonic cocktail of jump blues swizzled in horny swing, with dash of cabaret, and a splash of Bourbon Street. Simple as that. As lead singer and band leader, Michele and her husband/guitarist Chris make for a dynamic duo with a history in sound, art and theater. And the final product is something very special. And so is the unconventional path they took to get there.

  Episode 43 - Harry Barlo

  Jul 28, 20261h 20mS1

  Harry Barlo's story is a classic American story. A kid who grew up singing doo-wop on the streets of Philadelphia and ultimately achieved his dream of performing in Las Vegas. With plenty of ups and downs along the way. As a singer, he has shared the stage with the likes of Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Patti LaBelle, Tony Bennett and so many others. And as a boxer, a US Marine and a Philly cop, he's been no stranger to a fight, taking a punch, or the disappointments that come along the way. But like any great American story, perseverance and tenacity ultimately win out in the end.
