(Scroll down for upcoming appearances.) 

This pandemic has had a drastic effect on live entertainment and ​any establishment that has supported live, local music. We stand together with our fellow musicians and all those venues that do their best to bring all of us who love music together. As we begin to come out of this hibernation and see who and what is still with us, it is more important than ever to continue caring and supporting each other.

Please do all you can to support those establishments
that have supported live local music during these tough times and going forward!
​
Thank You!


​Join Hot Club of Saratoga for high energy gypsy swing in the spirit of 1930's Paris, made famous by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. The driving rhythms under dynamic soloing give the music a life and vibrancy sure to bring a smile and often an irresistible desire to move. Hot Club of Saratoga adds friends whether playing a club, coffeehouse, dinner, lounge, jazz club, concert, wedding, or private party. Recently a neighbor told us, “Whenever you guys rehearse, I open my windows so I can hear you. Your music just makes me happy!”  Yes! That's the goal!
To give you an idea of the type of gigs we play we have left some of our pre-COVID regulars on this rotating post.

Due to the Corona Virus shutdowns, we, like many artists, venues, and establishments,
have been unable to carry on as usual.
We are beginning to come back slowly and carefully.
​
Please get vaccinated, be safe, protect yourselves, protect those around you by following CDC guidelines.
Support local businesses all you can.
​We all need each other in these unusual times.
