About The Cosmo Alleycats
Cosmo Alleycats
Emily Day - Lead Singer, Manager
The Cosmo Alleycats is a San Francisco-based Swing & Vintage Dance Band that has been a popular choice with wedding couples, event planners, dancers and audiences for the last decade. The band, comprised of 6 talented musicians, draws from several decades of exhilarating American dance music to deliver a fun and engaging performance with a dynamic, soulful delivery.
The music of the Cosmo Alleycats can be considered part of your design. We can set the perfect vintage ambiance for a sunny, late-afternoon cocktail hour and provide a high-energy dance reception, full of recognizable vintage music that will get your friends - and your grandma - to the dance floor.

Cosmo Alleycats is a Vintage Dance Band. Our default formal attire is vests and ties for the male members. Emily Day wears a 40s-50s cocktail dress/day. If your wedding is 1920s-themed, she wears an elegant 20s day dress for the earlier portions, and a beaded flapper dress for the evening reception.
Of course! Priority is first given to your ceremony music and your featured dances. Then we consider if your song request is appropriate for our both our band's instrumentation and the flow of the party.
