Rat King Cole brings a fresh and innovative approach to the jazz and ska genre. With their infectious energy and creative spirit, they are sure to keep audiences moving and grooving for years to come.

The band’s unique sound is a blend of upbeat ska rhythms and smooth jazz melodies, with a touch of reggae, funk, and soul thrown in for good measure. Their energetic live shows are known for getting crowds up and dancing, with catchy hooks and infectious grooves that keep audiences coming back for more.
