The Shoe Jazz Jam at the Lucky Horseshoe

Bay Area Open Mics Event Link "The Shoe," has been known for live music since it opened as "The Cherokee" in 1943. The current ownership named it from "Skip's Tavern" in 2011 and it still boasts historical touches like a wall-sized old west mural (purportedly created in exchange for bar credit), and even a few seats rescued from the old Candlestick Park. Straight ahead jazz standards on second through fifth Wednesdays since March 2023. House band led by Kyle Finley on bass with drums and often guitar. Signup: no sign up, just introduce yourself to the band and let them know you'd like to sit in Time: 8-11pm When: Every second Wednesday, third Wednesday, fourth Wednesday, and 5th Wednesday of the month (next event: Wednesday, October 28) MC: Kyle Finley Performance: Music only Rules: Open jam: singers and all levels of players welcome!
