Western Swing: Saddle Cats | “People in Plazas” 2023 Market Street Music Festival | SF

Western swing, commonly associated in the past with states like Texas and Oklahoma, is alive and well in California’s The Saddle Cats.

The four-piece band with local ties warmed the crowd for a couple of hours on a cool summer day with a masterful performance. Their feel-good repertoire of country jazz ran the gamut from Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams to Irving Berlin and Billie Holiday, inspiring a number of audience members to dance in front of the stage.
