King St. Giants at HopMonk

Since 2012 the King Street Giants have brought their own special version of New Orleans music to the Bay Area and beyond. Whether they’re playing in clubs or on the streets, they radiate energy and always have a blast. While continuing to play the music of their jazz heroes, they have also been writing original music in an effort to continue to evolve the idiom of Traditional New Orleans Jazz. (And yes, that’s Analy band director Casey Jones on the clarinet!) This event is a fundraiser for the Hillcrest Middle School Band. Get tickets.

Sunday, Jan. 14, at 5 pm at HopMonk, 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebastopol. $20.
