Overview

Thanks for your interest in hiring Sara & Swingtime! We can be anywhere from just Sara solo on piano up to a six-piece band. We specialize in the popular songs of the 20's and 30's - early jazz, blues and swing. Our band is danceable and fun for young and old! We pride ourselves on our professionalism and musicianship, and have many happy former clients in our past - references are available on request. We hope to make your event a night to remember!
Please note: As of mid-April 2019, Sara is unable to sing due to vocal loss. We hope this is temporary but it is unknown when it will be possible to sing again. Sara can still of course play piano for solo gigs or with the band.

About

Sara Klotz de Aguilar, Pianist and vocalist.
Sara & Swingtime , formed in 1989, specializes in the jazz, blues and swing of the 1920's - 30's. Sara has appeared at numerous vintage-styled events celebrating the period, from New York City to California, including shows at the Queen Mary, the Paramount Theater, the Ahwahnee in Yosemite, and all the major San Francisco hotels. A nationally renowned expert in the fashions of the era, Sara also writes and lectures for various historical societies around the country.

Additional Booking Notes

Usually we require an area about 8'x 8' to set up in and an electrical outlet. Although I always prefer playing an acoustic grand piano, if there is no piano on site, I can provide my digital piano. I have a sound system adequate for house parties or small clubs, but for large venues you would need to provide amplification for the piano and voice, also a mic on a boom stand at the piano, and any other needed support depending on the gig.
