Hot Baked Goods

The Hot Baked Goods are a band of young jazz musicians playing hot tunes of the 1920s and ’30s.  Most of the band members started as swing dancers, and became so infatuated with the music that they decided to make some themselves!  They have quickly become one of San Francisco’s most popular swing dance bands!

The After-Hours Jam Session is now a regular monthly feature at the Woodchopper’s Ball, happening on the last Tuesday of the month, 11:30pm-1:30am, immediately following our regular Live Music Dance Party.  Spread the word!

    • Held in the lounge, with the bar staying open extra late, until 1:30am, and with space for dancing!  Take a nap Tuesday, and plan to work from home on Wednesday–this jam party will swing until late!
    • Included with admission to the Live Music Dance Party,  $15 ($5 after 11:00pm)!  Must arrive before doors close at 12:00am midnight.
