Casa Loma is a St Louis treasure - it's been there forever and it still draws a dedicated dancing crowd of all ages. This is a great video all around and I think it's a good representation of my big band.

Tommy Halloran "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" period style
My videographer wanted a vintage, sepia, poetic, down and out guy-in-the-gutter feeling and I think we succeeded. This video is one of my personal favorites. The dog is Millie, my beloved schnauzer. Jimmy Cox wrote this classic song in 1923. I can bring this threadbare version of Tommy Halloran to your event if desired.
Tommy Halloran "Wish I Could Shimmy Like my Sister Kate"
Here I am playing in a duo situation, at the Venice Cafe in Benton Park, St Louis, with Miles Long on drums. "Sister Kate" is a Louis Armstrong original and one of my favorites to sing and scat - and always a crowd-pleaser. After "Kate" we segue right into "When I Get Low."
