Since May of 2024, vocalist Shannon Wolfe and pianist John Wilson have hosted the ever popular Cocktails & Cabaret residency in the Blue Room at Stookey’s Club Moderne, tucked into the corner of Bush and Taylor Streets in San Francisco. This post-Prohibition Art Deco cocktail lounge, celebrated for its vintage-inspired drinks and elegant atmosphere, carries with it a touch of literary history–known as the “all night pharmacy” in Dashiel Hammet’s crime detective novel, The Maltese Falcon. Now regarded as one of the city’s signature nightlife experiences, the Blue Room presents jazz and cabaret acts five nights a week beneath the shimmer of its iconic disco ball. The atmosphere is sophisticated and friendly: vintage glasses clink softly as conversations flow easily, bartenders shake ice-cold martinis in tempo, and music becomes a part of the evening’s pulse. Shannon and John have built a devoted following through sold-out performances spanning an eclectic and stylish repertoire—from the music of Kurt Weill and Film Noir to treasures from the Great American Songbook, Weimar-era cabaret, and Broadway musical comedy numbers. Playful, spontaneous, and always in fashion, Shannon and John return each time with fresh material and a deep love for entertaining San Francisco audiences.

“Beguiling, sublime, sensational.”

— Robert Estes, Bay Area Theater Director

“Excellent singing...full range vocals, charming delivery.”

— Talkin' Broadway

Shannon Wolfe

Jazz + Cabaret Vocalist & Creator

Praised for her vibrant and shimmering vocals, San Francisco's songstress Shannon Wolfe has given sold-out performances at some of the city’s best-known and most celebrated venues, including Stookey’s Blue Room, Society Cabaret in Union Square, and Bimbo’s 365 Club in North Beach.  Shannon is known for creating elegant song-filled evenings that blend timeless American Songbook classics with cabaret- style storytelling, wit, warmth and humor. She draws inspiration from Hollywood's Golden Age of Music, the Great American Songbook, film noir, musical comedy, and combines it all with the finest musicianship, delivering the intimacy of a vintage nightclub show, where audience connection and pleasure is paramount. Fans describe her style as “beguiling, sublime, and sensational.”  Shannon appears regularly with Grammy-winning, San Francisco Symphony pianist, John Wilson.
