About Us
The Silicon Gulch Jazz Band was founded by Joe Bithell in 1982. Soon after the band found a home playing every Tuesday night at the Swingin' Door (formerly the Prince of Wales Pub) in San Mateo, CA.
We play a wide variety of music but specializes in early/Traditional jazz. We'll give you a slice of Bourbon Street in New Orleans!
