Johnny Bones & the Palace of Jazz Live Swing Music & Lindy Hop

SF’s original Wednesday night live-music swing dance party — now lighting up Broadway Studios in historic North Beach. http://www.CatsCornerSF.com This week’s band: Johnny Bones & the Palace of Jazz There’s a reason dancers light up when Johnny Bones hits the bandstand. With his passionate saxophone sound out front, Johnny Bones & the Palace of Jazz serve up wah-wah horns, novelty drums, and New Orleans jazz rhythms with a polished sound that’s sweet, spicy, and full of character. Johnny helped define some of Cat’s Corner’s earliest live-music nights, back when the party was building its reputation for packed floors and unforgettable energy. These days, catching him between California Honeydrops tours feels like a treat—and with the Palace of Jazz behind him, you can expect a night with real swing, soul, and spark. === Since 2007, Cat’s Corner has brought dancers together for live swing bands, beginner-friendly lessons, Lindy Hop classes, cocktails at the bar, and a packed dance floor that makes Wednesday feel like the weekend.
