Daniel Villarreal live in San Francisco

Experience Daniel Villarreal live on July 24th

Daniel Villarreal will perform at SFJAZZ in San Francisco on July 24, 2026. Villarreal is a drummer and composer whose work blends jazz improvisation with elements of electronic music, house, and Afro-Latin rhythms. His compositions often feature intricate polyrhythms and a focus on groove, creating a sound that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply danceable. He frequently utilizes live looping and effects processing as integral parts of his performance practice.
