Fog City Swing

Step into the golden age of swing with Fog City Swing, a seven-piece ensemble that bills itself as the "world's smallest big band." Co-led by trumpeter Daniel Herrera and saxophonist Greg Johnson, this group has rapidly become one of the Bay Area's preeminent swing bands since forming in 2023, earning a regular residency at The Dawn Club with consistently sold-out crowds.

The band's electrifying three-horn front line delivers the punch of a full big band while maintaining the intimacy of a smaller ensemble. Their "swing till you drop" rhythm section and stellar crooning vocals transport audiences straight to the 1940s, channeling the classic sounds of Count Basie and Sinatra alongside surprising takes on everything from Tom Jones to Michael Jackson. This eclectic repertoire showcases their "completely original sound" that ranges from traditional swing and hard bop to classic pop favorites.

Fog City Swing's performances feature some of Northern California's top vocalists and instrumentalists, creating a dynamic show that changes with each appearance while maintaining their signature big band energy. Their versatile style has made them a standout in the Bay Area jazz scene, offering audiences "a memorable show that cannot be found anywhere else."

At The Dawn Club, every table has an unobstructed view of the stage with studio-quality audio, making this the perfect setting to experience the full impact of their three-horn front line and the band's infectious swing energy that has been packing venues throughout the region.
