August 7: Clint Baker's Golden Gate Swing Band
Band breaks w/ DJ David Aghassi
Clint Baker’s Golden Gate Swing Band combines the best elements of traditional New Orleans Jazz with the spirit of hard-driving Kansas City swing, creating an ensemble sound that’s tight and loose all at the same time. With a solid swinging rhythm section driving the music and talented soloists spinning melodies, it’s no wonder dancers connect easily to the band’s tunes.
