Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers: live jazz in Union Square
| Thursday, August 7 | ||
| 6:00 pm |
With a powerful and “lush vocal style recalling both Bessie Smith and Dinah Washington” (Los Angeles Times), Lavay Smith is the grande dame of Bay Area Swing. Backed by the Red Hot Skillet Lickers, an airtight band that lays down irresistible jump blues, R&B, big band, and salsa grooves, Smith kicks off this years’ Union Square series in footloose fashion.
Enjoy live jazz every Thursday evening in August in the heart of San Francisco’s premier shopping, dining, and people-watching district. Union Square, a San Francisco landmark, is bordered by Geary, Stockton, Post and Powell streets and features a large outdoor stage, plentiful outdoor seating, and—exclusively on concert evenings—a wine garden.
