The Woodchopper’s Ball

April 11, 2023 @ 9:00 pm - 11:30 pm

Benny Amón’s New Orleans Pearls

Benny Amón’s relatively young career in jazz has established him as a prominent early jazz drummer. Currently splitting his time between his native Bay Area & his adopted long term home of New Orleans, Benny continues to pursue opportunities to perform, teach, and record with world class musicians.  Benny’s New Orleans Pearls will present New Orleans Dance Hall jazz reminiscent of the great Bunk Johnson and George Lewis Bands that revived New Orleans Jazz.

WOODCHOPPER’S BALL:

The Woodchopper’s Ball, San Francisco’s swing hot spot, is a weekly Tuesday night swing dance event held at the historic Verdi Club in San Francisco’s Mission district. Named after the classic 1939 swing tune by the Woody Herman Orchestra (and their biggest hit!), it features monthly classes, a full bar (21+ only), and a dance party with a drop-in lesson and the largest variety of live swing dance music in town!
