Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers

Lavay Smith returns to Ashkenaz, one of our longtime favorite venues! A Bay Area institution, Ashkenaz is a wonderful venue for listening or dancing, with a great dance floor and delicious food and drinks available for sale. Lavay will light up the dance floor with an evening of swing classics, performed by her all-star 8-piece band. One of the first and still the best of the “swing revival” bands. Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers remain popular after 25 years of keeping dancers ecstatic. Along with the East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop grooves by the band, Smith swings from sultry torch songs to the grit of the great blues singers. She and the band keep adding new elements to their timeless blues-jazz-swing repertoire, including new songs as well as rotating the hits and lesser-known gems from their four CDs. Tickets: GA Presale: $20 GA DoS: $25
