Saturday, May 31 — Benoît Viellefon & The Hot Club at Henry Ward Hall

After smashing it in 2024 with sold out shows at Ronnies included an extensive tour across Asia, this is rare chance to catch Benoît and his Hot Club in a room as grand as the music itself! Expect swing, gypsy jazz, and the swagger and romance of 1930s Paris, all under the vaulted ceilings of Henry Ward Hall.
