Jess King's Hot Mess - 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 music: Jess King & Her Hot Mess After years of turning heads around the local Lindy Hop scene, Jess King now takes the spotlight with her own bandleading project, Jess King & Her Hot Mess. Blending cool, easy elegance with a swinging groove and shades of jazz, blues, soul, Western swing, and R&B, the band creates the kind of momentum that keeps the floor full all night. With echoes of artists like Nat Cole, Patsy Cline, Aretha Franklin, Una Mae Carlisle, Bessie Smith, and Anita O’Day in the mix, Jess’s sound feels steeped in tradition but full of her own warmth and spirit. === 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.
