Norman “The Boogie Cat” Sylvester was born in Bonita Louisiana September 16, 1945. He and his family boarded a Union Pacific Train for work in the Northwest in the Fall of 1957 when he was 12 years old, but his family’s Southern Traditions have never left him. The Boogie Cat totally dedicated to soul healing force of Music.

Norman is one of the most engaging showmen around the Northwest. weddings, festivals, corporate parties and club venues all call on his band for spectacular music and entertainment! Influenced from his Southern Baptist early years and the Gospel Quartet his father, Mack Sylvester, toured with (they were as sharp with their fashion as they were in their harmonies), these examples show in Sylvester’s own performance style.

Norman is a “family and community first” musician. He has mentored many young talents in our area, Patrick Lamb, Gretchen Mitchell, Jolie Clausen, Joseph Konty, Alden Harris and Gunnar Roads to name a few. He teaches through grants and Ethos “A History of American Music” in our local schools. Sylvester and his band also use their power of music to perform for many benefits,charities and individuals in need.

Personally, Norman has raised a family of 7 children while playing the band and has 9 grand children. As many local Musicians, he’s always held down other sources of income too. He is a retired Teamster, after working for a trucking Company for 25 years, now he owned a janitorial and landscaping business for the past 17 years.
