Pronounced like the clock… or like the street in Portland labeled: "Couch." It’s not pronounced like the furniture item found in homes called by the name "Couch." (I hope that clarifies.) This group is fronted by Portland Jazz vocalist Kat Cogswell. She is joined with a Quintet that has instrumentation that makes an early Paris influenced sound that’s well described as: "Moulin Rouge meets Django Reinhardt."

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!
