Alana and Old Hat

Alanna and Old Hat will swing and swoon you through the golden era of classic jazz from the vintage dance music of the roaring twenties’ flappers; timeless, romantic jazz ballads; hot swing, and sweet New Orleans’ blues. Lead vocalist Alanna Egan’s velvety tone is influenced by classic jazz singers such as Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Julie London and more. Alanna and Old Hat showcases the world renowned Steve Grant (double bass), vintage guitar stylist Ben Calderazzo, King of the old school Ian Smith (drums and washboard) and the wonderful Eamon McNelis on trumpet. Alanna and Old Hat has played at leading Jazz Clubs, Jazz Festivals and at events both locally and nationally.
