About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

The Queen's Cartoonists offer a tour-de-force of the Swing Era's zaniest and most creative music, much of which was written or adapted for classic cartoons. The band's repertoire includes the wackyiness of Raymond Scott, John Kirby's classical swing arrangements, and Carl Stalling's original and rejigged numbers for Warner Brothers classic Looney Tunes & Merry Melodies. The six cats of The Queen's Cartoonists are on a musical mission consisting of equal parts music preservation, music education, and live performance. The heyday of swing music has passed, but this music survives in the memories of anyone who grew up watching classic cartoons or listening to classical music.From the Big Apple to Hollywood, brunos and sweet patooties alike can't get enough of this clam-bake! So frisk up those whiskers, leave your Chicago typewriter at home, and join us Okies at the gin mill for an evening of leg shakin', hooch swiggin' good times! It's a gasser!
