Crooners & Songbirds is a monthly cabaret focusing on vocal jazz, blues and popular music from the '20s and '30s. Prepare to tap your toes and get runs in your hose as Megan Lynch scorches the torch songs and gets saucy, Tony Marcus caresses his archtop guitar into sweet submission, Kelly McCubbin shows you the dark side of ukulele, and Amy Z wrestles the saw even more melodically and provocatively than Marlene Dietrich did. Admission is FREE!* Megan Lynch has crooned, warbled, belted, and yodeled at Crooners & Songbirds, Bijou, Mighty, Noe Valley Ministry and other establishments where they serve fine tarts.* Tony Marcus has performed music from Dublin to Yokohama and from Alaska to Florida.

Crumb & the Cheap Suit Serenaders, Cats & Jammers, Geoff Muldaur's Fountain of Youth, The Arkansas Sheiks, The Royal Society Jazz Orchestra, and The Frank Wakefield Band.
