About the Event
Join us for an evening of Broadway’s best 1920s and ‘30s theatre tunes by Gershwin, Porter, Berlin, Rodgers & Hart and friends. We’ll take you back to the era of the Jazz Moderne style with hits from classic shows such as Man About Town, Fifty Million Frenchmen, Strike up the Band, Babes in Arms, and more! Enjoy the clever wit, humor and seamless story telling as only the greats could create.
About Shannon Wolfe:

Shannon has been a regular performer at San Francisco’s Society Cabaret, the Rite Spot, and was most recently seen in "Tunes of the City: A San Francisco Song Cycle", premiered at Potrero Stage. Shannon is a featured yearly seasonal performer at The Water’s Edge Bistro in Mazatlan, Mexico. www.shannonmariewolfe.com
