Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Friday 7:00pm August 2, 2013


Grab the chance to see this electrifying contemporary Swing Revival band live and free! From ’40s swing to Cab Calloway, boogie woogie to New Orleans blues, its rhythm section is beat only by its horns – or vice versa. “Go Daddy-O,” “Mr. Pinstripe Suit,” “The Jumpin’ Jive” – it doesn’t get better than this.

Simply Sinatra
Saturday 7:00pm August 3, 2013


Steve Lippia leads a tribute to the timeless music of Frank Sinatra. Hear all your favorites by this Vegas headliner, whose concerts sell out from NYC’s Birdland and the Boston Pops to Europe and South America. But here in San Jose there’s no charge; just bring a picnic and enjoy.
