Swing Dance Party with Big Cheese and The Jive Rats at Park Station Alameda

About

Swing Dance Party with Big Cheese and The Jive Rats featuring Reid Whatley at Alameda’s most happening venue, Park Station, 1200 Park St. Come dance or hang out and enjoy the fun as The Jive Rats play your favorite swing dance songs and hits by Louis Jordan, Slim Gaillard and more. There is no cover, a spacious dance floor, 30 beers on tap, and food by Southie. BIG CHEESE AND THE JIVE RATS are keeping alive the jump swing tradition of Slim Gaillard, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima and the vout-oreenie generation. This high-energy, frenetic novelty bebop show has band and audience alike clucking like chickens, barking like dogs, eating potato chips out of The Big Cheese's hand, laughing in rhythm, and dancing up a storm. This combination of talent and savoir-faire is rarely found in one performer yet The Big Cheese has cleverly stumbled upon the magic recipe. His outfits are in a clash by themselves and his show guarantees memories to last a lunchtime.
