SF International Arts Festival presents The No-Mads in "Guilty Pleasures and Hip Hits"
SEE EVENT DETAILS
The No-Mads celebrate music's reign as the defining art form in 20th-century popular culture of Europe and the Americas. The No-Mads' instrumental program is an international tapestry woven from swing, TV and film themes, novelty songs, bebop, rock, crooner hits, bal-musette, show tunes, Italian folk songs, Bossa Nova, sounds of the Quintette du Hot Club de France, and more. In nostalgic reinterpretations of familiar tunes that maybe you've forgotten you know and love, and in novel arrangements of obscure gems -- all played on guitar, accordion, and percussion -- you'll find delight from beginning to end.
