Poway Center for the Performing Arts
Phat Cat Swinger is the ultimate pop/hard-swing band led by leader, Marco Palos and his partner-in-crime, Blake Lewis (AMERICAN IDOL runner-up). Their unique blend of rock, swing, and jazz infused with modern sensibilities sets them apart. With a powerhouse 11-piece group, their performances are nothing short of legendary. The raw energy they bring to the stage electrifies the audience, getting the crowd dancing like there’s no tomorrow.
Often lighting up the stages at The Disneyland Resort, Phat Cat Swinger delights audiences with re-imagined Disney songs and original tunes, all delivered in their signature, iconic style.
Hollywood can’t get enough of Phat Cat Swinger. They’ve been featured in videos with Christina Aguilera and The Jonas Brothers, performed at exclusive A-list events and even played for JJ Abrams’ company, Bad Robot Productions.
What truly sets Phat Cat Swinger apart is their camaraderie and interactive performance style. When they declare, “Together…we are…Phat Cat Swinger!” it’s a testament to their unity and the way every member shines on stage. Led by founder Marco Palos and vocalist Mark Kopitzke, this ensemble thrives on the energy of their audience, creating a one-of-a-kind, roof-raising show.
