As we begin to break our long hibernation,
let us gather together in the joy and love of music once again, and support those establishments that support live local music, as we share the exhilaration of recovery! |
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. |
