Bio
NOW FEATURED ON WWW.MATTTOLENTINO.COM ! The Singapore Slingers are an orchestra based in Dallas, Texas specializing in the music of 1900-1935. The orchestrations are almost all authentic, vintage stocks with some original arrangements thrown in as well. These include one steps, two steps, rags, marches, waltzes, and of course fox trots! The group seeks to keep alive this unique and very special style of music which is often overlooked and overshadowed by the big band era. We play the tunes completely true to their fashion just as they were back in their heyday- call it historic preservation! The group is for hire, and for more info contact Matt Tolentino at singaporeslingersorchestra@gmail.com. Also check us out on bookaband.com as well as Facebook. Cheers! .. .. .. .. .......... -

Dude, that's you singing? Who knew??? You were born in the wrong era man! LOL! Great job. If I were you I would add some record scratch sounds, record with a simulation of old recordings, and advertise it as lost music from the past. That could create a big buzz! Great singing Matt!
