Fil Lorenz Orchestra, DJ Adam Lewis + Lindy Classes Nearly Full!

[Cat's Corner]

Dear Cats Corner Guests,

MUSIC THIS WEEK

Come dance this week to the swingin' music of the Fil Lorenz
Orchestra, the star-studded "little BIG band" that bridges the gap
between the classic big bands of the 1930's and the smaller, lighter
groovin' bands of the 1950's. Band leader & saxophonist Fil Lorenz
leads a tight horn ensemble that packs a bold punch, while also
channeling a sweet and classy sound. Backed by a driving rhythm
section on piano/bass/drums, the band plays classic renditions of our
favorite big band swing dance tunes...a dancer's delight!

Adam Lewis is our DJ this Wednesday, filling in between the band's two
sets. Mr. Lewis has been a featured DJ at the Rent Party & Shades of
Blue after DJing in Sacramento for many years, and we're glad to have
him with us this week!
