SBL Entertainment is excited to announce the latest dazzling iteration of award-winning singing, swinging bandleader Peter Petty's big-band Christmas card to Sacramento, "Hepcat's Holla’Daze! Swingin' Yuletide Revue"
After taking 2020 off for COVID-19 restrictions, Hepcats Holla'Daze! (now in its 6th year) is back, starring Sacramento's own Man wit' da Flop, Peter Petty, backed by his unparalleled 11-piece Titans of Terpsichore! jazz orchestra in this scintillating, syncopating, live “Christmas Special with a dance floor." It's a uniquely entertaining, truly one-of-a-kind event that, for many, has become a Sacramento holiday tradition.
Incorporating elements from the Harlem Renaissance, classic and neo Burlesque artistry, and joyous holiday celebrations, Hepcat's Holla’Daze! provides a much needed opportunity to call the babysitter, put away the sweat-pants, dress like a grown-up, and be transported to the cosmopolitan sophistication of those halcyon floor-shows of the height of the Swing Era. Mr. Petty’s award-winning showmanship, operatically trained 3 2/3 octave vocal range, singularly swinging orchestra, and favorite regional guest stars are sure to make this event a stocking stuffer to remember all the way through the new year. And it ain't just perfunctory performances of the usual Christmas songs you’re sick of hearing by the day after Thanksgiving, either! No, Hepcat's Holla'Day! features unique holiday classics originally recorded by such diverse artists as Lionel Hampton, Louis Armstrong, Louie Prima, James Brown, Bing Crosby, and even the Pogues, to name just a few. And, the Sofia has a full bar, so you can order up a few peterpettytinis, and really "enjoy" the show!
Guest stars this year include internationally chart-topping blues artist Katie Knipp; soul singer Dana Moret; operatic baritone Omari Tao; vivacious burlesque-inspired songstress Coco Lamarr; legendary saw player from the One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Robert Armstrong; garage punk recording artists Th' Losin Streaks; discount jazz duo The Freebadge Serenaders; Burlesque artists Monet Ha’Sidi, Jean Heart, and Sweet Belize, plus Miss Gay Sacramento 2021 A La Mode; the exciting New Orleans second-line traditions of the Element Brass Band; and the video impresarioism of liquid-light-show raconteur George Holden. They're all coming over to see what da Man wit' da Flop is doin' for the Holla'Daze, and so should you, too!
Due to adult themes throughout the program, you'll probably be glad you left the kiddies at home for this one. This show is a little something for Mommy and Daddy.
