San Lyon at the Woodchopper's Ball

SAN LYON: San Lyon is a colorful French Swing quartet mixing early 20th-century Parisian Hot Club Jazz, American Jazz standards from the 1920s to '40s, and original music. They are based in Los Angeles, California where they have started creating shows tailored to dancers. The band was formed in 2019 by Paige Herschell from San Antonio, TX on vocals, melodica, and kazoo; Jenna Colombet from Lyon, France on violin, vocals, and drums; Katie Cavera from Southern Indiana on bass, banjo, and vocals; and Dani Vargas from Santiago, Chile on guitar and vocals.
