About Chris Kenten

Chris Kenten is a charismatic singer and cabaret entertainer who brings the golden age of swing to life. His rich, velvety voice has drawn comparisons not only to swing icons like Sinatra and Dean Martin but also to modern crooning sensation Michael Bublé.

Between-set music is also provided at no extra cost, and Chris is happy to tailor the playlist to suit your event’s atmosphere.

Rat Pack Duo & Swing Orchestra

For the ultimate Rat Pack and swing experience, Chris teams up with Shane, a 25-year-old rising star in the jazz and swing scene. With a voice reminiscent of Michael Bublé and a natural flair for entertainment, Shane is quickly making waves in the industry.

Chris Kenten, Crooner, 90th birthday bash!

5 stars - Chris Kenten are Highly Recommended
booked Chris Kenten for their event in Kent

“Chris was absolutely fabulous! We were celebrating my dads 90th at my home which was rather crowded with Chris a few feet away from everyone , not really the stage you would expect for an entertainer but like a true professional he gave a wonderful performance with everyone joining in; we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely engage his services again as would some of our friends who were present , and also that of Alive network where Adam made it all come together so smoothly. ”
