Fog City Swing

Meet the Bay Area's self-proclaimed "world's smallest big band" — a seven-piece ensemble that's rapidly become one of Northern California's preeminent swing acts. Co-led by trumpeter Daniel Herrera and saxophonist Greg Johnson since 2023, Fog City Swing features an electrifying three-horn front line, stellar crooning vocals, and a rhythm section that will have you swinging till you drop.

What sets this band apart is their completely original sound and eclectic repertoire. While they'll transport you straight to the 1940s with classic Sinatra and Count Basie, they also swing through unexpected territory with Tom Jones and Michael Jackson arrangements that you won't find anywhere else. Their setlist spans swing standards like "Fly Me to the Moon," "Blue Moon," and "Come Fly With Me" alongside surprising takes on "It's Not Unusual" and "Lovely Day."

Fog City Swing has built a devoted following through their regular residency at The Dawn Club, where they consistently pack the house with some of Northern California's top vocalists and instrumentalists joining the core ensemble. The band brings the energy and arrangements of a big band while maintaining the intimacy and versatility of a smaller group — perfect for getting audiences on their feet.

Expect an evening that bridges classic swing, hard bop, and even some pop favorites, all delivered with the polish and swing that has made Fog City Swing a standout in the Bay Area jazz scene. Whether you're a swing dance enthusiast or just love music that makes you move, this performance promises the kind of memorable show that captures both the timeless appeal of the swing era and a fresh, contemporary energy.
