No Cover — 7:00pm Show

We’re really excited to welcome Steve Clarke & the Working Stiffs to Animales just ahead of their Twin Cities Jazz Festival appearance. Big swing energy, vintage jazz, blues, and the kind of musicianship that makes a room light up. Come eat some BBQ, grab a drink, and catch one of the best live bands around.

Performing vintage Jazz swing, and blues with joyful abandon: songs of food, fun and romance, this family friendly, award winning group has thrilled audiences throughout the Twin Cities and is coming in just before they headline at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival.

“Formed in 2001 for “Let Freedom Swing”, a benefit for the families of 911, the Working Stiffs have become the premier swing and jazz group performing throughout the region with their smoking all-star rhythm section and Steve Clarke’s sax front-and-center."
