Gwen Hughes and The Retro Jazz Kats

Gwen Hughes and The Retro Kats- Among the elite Atlanta, Georgia Wedding Jazz Bands, Gwen Hughes and the retro Jazz Kats have become a force on the Atlanta wedding circuit. A veteran on the Southeast wedding band scene, Gwen Hughes is one of the busiest bandleaders in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The rest of the “Kats” or Cats are as equally impressive: The Retro Jazz Kats are comprised of elite musicians on keyboards, bass, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and drums. Collectively, these players (and Gwen) have about a century of experience between them playing wedding events all over the world, for the last (4) Olympic Games, and for professional clients in such diverse locales as the Cayman Islands and New York City. Many wedding planners call upon Gwen & The Kats every year to travel and entertain them at various functions all over the United States. While Gwen is known for her singing, she is also an accomplished pianist, frequently leading the band for events that do not require vocals. Corporate and wedding clients marvel at the band’s ability to take the event seriously, but not themselves. Says Gwen: “My objective has always been to have a band that enjoys each other – it makes the wedding guests enjoy the band that much more…and it makes the music even better.” To book Gwen Hughes and the Kats for your wedding reception, call or email Music Garden today!
