Fog City Swing
Dubbed the "world's smallest big band," Fog City Swing brings big band energy to the intimate setting of Keys Jazz Bistro with their seven-piece powerhouse ensemble. Created in 2023 by trumpeter Daniel Herrera and saxophonist Greg Johnson, this San Francisco-based group has rapidly become one of the Bay Area's preeminent jazz and swing ensembles, maintaining a regular residency at the renowned Dawn Club.
Expect an electrifying three-horn front line paired with stellar crooning vocals and a "swing till you drop" rhythm section that transports audiences straight to the 1940s. Their versatile repertoire spans classic swing and hard bop alongside unexpected pop favorites, ranging from Sinatra and Count Basie standards to Tom Jones and Michael Jackson — all delivered with their completely original sound that can't be found anywhere else.
The band's high-energy performances feature some of Northern California's top vocalists and instrumentalists, consistently drawing sold-out crowds to their Dawn Club shows. Their approach blends the sophistication of classic swing with modern accessibility, making each performance a memorable experience that bridges generations of music lovers.
With their proven track record of delivering dynamic live performances and their reputation as one of the Bay Area's hottest jazz and swing acts, Fog City Swing promises an evening that captures both the nostalgia of vintage jazz and the excitement of contemporary musicianship.
