Alanna & Old Hat
20s to 40s vintage swing and sweet New Orleans Blues
Alanna & Old Hat are a Swing quintet that brings to life the golden era of classic jazz from the 1920’s – 40’s. Their latest release ‘The Mood that I’m In’ features vintage dance music of the roaring twenties’ flappers; timeless, romantic jazz ballads; hot swing and sweet New Orleans’ blues. Lead vocalist Alanna Egan has a velvety tone influenced by classic jazz singers such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Julie London and more. Alanna & Old Hat showcases the world renowned Steve Grant (cornet), vintage guitar stylist Jen Hawley, king of the old school traps, Ian Smith (drums and washboard) and mistress of the deep, Elise Winterflood (double bass).
"I envy Alanna’s patter – never seen such a dry, incisive and self-deprecating wit wrapped around an incredible talent. There’s plastic jazz with the same rotation of divas and the odd exceptional soloist but she makes everything her own." – Enda Kenny
