This month, I’m leaning into warmth, joy, and connection — the things that make performance art feel so alive. From timeless holiday magic to intimate nights of music, these performances and venues remind me how good it feels to gather and be moved together.
Venue Picks
One of my favorite cozy spots in the city for great live jazz. Intimate and warm, it’s the perfect place for a night out where you can relax and feel transported to another era.
There’s something deeply inspiring about watching young musicians pour everything into their craft, push boundaries, and share what’s possible. I always leave hopeful and excited about the future of live art in this city.
The Fillmore is a true San Francisco gem. It feels special the moment you walk in — you can sense, and even see, the history of this venue on the walls. It’s a great place to discover a new artist or witness a legend — either way, it’s an electric experience.
