Legendary Bay Area musicians playing joyful classic jazz from the foot- stomping roaring twenties. Top draw music for parties, weddings, festivals, jazz clubs, faculty clubs, fund raisers, dances, business events, street fairs .......

This fine band has been featured at the Sacramento Jubilee, the Fairmont on Nob Hill and has had a long residency at the historic Baltic Restaurant in Point Richmond..

Formed in 1993, they are the hot band to hear at jazz festivals and clubs all over the Golden State. Their repertoire spans the wonderful music of Morton, King Oliver, Bechet, Armstrong, Fats Waller and early Ellington. The San Francisco Feetwarmers will get your toes tapping, put a smile on your face and their driving four beat rhythm will get you dancing to all your Dixieland and New Orleans favorites.

"These guys ...... play the real thing!"  says Mike Foley of  the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society.  

San Francisco Feetwarmers....that's an unusual name?  Not when you recall the great Sidney Bechet's New Orleans Feetwarmers and Duke Ellington's Harlem Feetwarmers.  It is the perfect name for a band  known for playing classic jazz with a touch of class.

Need a fine band for your next function? The Feetwarmers can deliver either
   o The full eight piece San Francisco Feetwarmers for larger gatherings, or
   o The San Francisco Feetwarmers Five for smaller gatherings, or
   o A hot quartet, Mike Slack's New Orleans Jazz Band NOJB for more inimate functions, and parties.
    Whatever size group you need, contact Mike Slack contact ... leader of the SF Feetwarmers ... and be assured of the very best music. (Should they be booked on the date you need, Mike will put you in touch with another available high quality local band playing similar music.)
