1 part infectious enthusiasm
1 part vintage hot club jazz
1 part modern songwriting
1 part hot picking swing

Shake with ice and you've got The Gentlemen's Anti-Temperance League.

The GATL plays jazz originals. Modern songs under an old-time façade. It’s music your granddad would listen to, if your granddad was a time-traveler from 2050 with a hankering for vintage cocktails and hot jazz. It’s hot, infectious, and emotional. Kind of like that on-and-off relationship you had in your early twenties, but a lot more grounded.

Six years, five albums, and hundreds of shows have honed GATL into a finely tuned machine— greased with whiskey, regular exercise, and a taste for wheels on pavement. Keep a weather eye out. They might be in your town soon.


This year's Songs on the Lawn will feature food from ATOM Hospitality, Beans Coffee Company, Frozen Yogurt Creations, Massad’s Group, Pub 500, The Loose Moose Saloon & Conference Center, and Wooden Spoon.
