THE COTTONTAILS:
The Cottontails are one of San Francisco's most exciting, talented, and versatile swing dance bands around, playing a wide range of styles: 1920s Gatsby-era jazz, classic 30's/'40s swing, and vintage '50s/'60s R&B. Something for everyone, and fun for all! Featuring Karina Denike, whose "vocal prowess recalls traditional jazz chops with modern style, relevance, and soul." (The Owl Mag)
