This crazed clarinet wielding band leader has Portland’s best swing band behind him supplying the tunes you love to dance to. Last year, Portland was blown away with his special tribute to Benny Goodman in June and his firey performance at the “Alice in Winter Wonderland” Holiday Ball. They were also a headlining band and crowd favorite for this years Portland Lindy Exchange Swing Festival. This band is sure to be your cup of tea!

Currently Mad Hatton is in his homeland of Austrailia. We hope he comes back to Portland to play again some day.
