Billy Whitton......also...... Billy whitton & the Swingcats

Billy Whitton works three ways. Solo, it's guitar and a mix of jazz, blues and classic pop and rock covers, either sung or played as instrumentals. The duo adds a female singer taking on Aretha, Amy Winehouse and soul classics. And with the Swingcats it becomes a band playing swing, blues, reggae and funky pop, from Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Bublé material to Mack the Knife, No Woman, No Cry and Hoochie Coochie Man. Each format can lean into one style if that's what your night calls for. Solo sets might include Lean on Me, Hallelujah, Can't Help Falling in Love or Ain't No Sunshine. A PA comes along, with background music to cover the breaks. Based in Hobart, Billy travels up to 50 km.
