Bio
The Bad Mitten Orchestre's music, often described as "Lyrical Folk Cabaret", features a blend of Americana and Gypsy roots combined with an energy all its own, created by the collective personalities of the band's members. Conjuring vivid images of smoky bars, storybook characters, and angelic intervention, they illustrate themes of mystery, fate, and the beauty of the ephemeral..... ..You are in for a crazy night of laughter, creative and innovative music, and an all round great time as a wide array of instruments are played along with extraordinary vocals. We will all be out of our seats dancing and having an uproarious great time..... ---Katie Cavanaugh, award winning singer/songwriter and Harmony House Concerts Coordinator.... ..Raw and creative, reminiscent of Tom Waits, exuberant dance music created with a crazy collection of instruments and noise makers guaranteed to provide a fix of joy and laughter..... ---Blue Sky Room....
