   About The Bad Mitten Orchestre
With influences that range from classical piano music to jazz to hard rock, the Mittens have fun experimenting with the cross-sampling of old-time sounds and contemporary subjects, pouring their emotions out over their ever-expanding collection of random instruments and other noise-making contraptions. Each one of their individual personalities shines on stage, and you will often find dancers from ages 3 to 83 shakin' their thangs on the dance floor.

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

Hello to all The Bad Mitten Orchestre and thank you for adding me to your circle of friends. I was first drawn to your site by your name. I really enjoyed listening to your song samples. It was like listening to a Broadway review album. Quite fun indeed. I look forward to catching you live some day this summer as I will be in the Eugene area for a couple of months. Be in good health, John
