Proof's repertoire includes everything from retro jazz standards like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "In the Mood" to new favorites like Lorde and Lake Street Dive. Known for their tight harmonies, intricate arrangements, and captivating soloists, Proof loves to show audiences from San Francisco to Seoul that, when it comes to the talent of an SSAA jazz group, the proof really is in the pudding. Fresh from their Spring tour in Taiwan, Proof is thrilled to be returning to the jazziest venue in town!

MORE ABOUT PROOF OF THE PUDDING Proof of the Pudding is a Soprano-Alto jazz and swing a cappella group that has performed around the world. Some of their recent performance venues have included Taipei's Sappho Live Jazz Club, Seoul's Boogie Woogie Jazz Club, and Washington DC's National Democratic Club. We have performed with San Francisco's Fog City Singers, as well as for esteemed guests such as former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Proof was founded just in 1975, just six years after women were admitted to Yale. At the time, Yale's singing scene was heavily male dominated, and Yalies were doubtful that any non-male groups could musically compare. So, the founders of Proof turned to a quote from Cervantes' Don Quixote: "the proof of the pudding is in the tasting," telling skeptics that they couldn't judge until they had heard Proof sing. They listened and loved what they heard, leading to nearly 50 years of close friendships between strong, talented singers who are always "in the mood" for music.
