We are an all-ages listening room.

NYE with Kenny Washington: A Big Easy Event

The Sound Room

Kenny Washington thrills audiences across the globe with his soulful interpretations, seemingly limitless range, and rapid-fire scatting. The New Orleans native, now based in the San Francisco Bay Area, is described as one of “the Bay Area’s best kept musical secrets,” Washington’s astounding improvisational flights, inventive approach and emotional intensity are awe inspiring. If you have never heard this New Orleans native sing before, prepare to join a global audience that has been wowed by Washington’s talent. &quot;The thing is, Washington slays &#x27;em wherever he performs. Standing not quite five-foot-two, he&#x27;s an oversize talent who can scat with the harmonic daring and rhythmic command of a bebop saxophonist, croon with the simmering soul of Donny Hathaway, and interpret standards with such intelligence and emotional commitment it&#x27;s like Rodgers and Hart wrote &quot;I Didn&#x27;t Know What Time It Was&quot; with him in mind.&quot; -- Andrew Gilbert, eastbayexpress.comIncludes dinner, show and champagne toast at MidnightDoors open at 7:15: Come in, grab a drink and nibble at your tableDinner service begins at 7:45Enjoy your meal while listening to the sounds of Luis Peralta on pianoProsperity Pork Rib with Orange Bourbon Gastrique; Delicata Squash with cranberry chestnut duxelleBooming Black Eyed Peas and GreensMoney Mac n CheeseGold Coin CornbreadKenny Washington Quatrtet begins at 9 - Kenny, David Udolf on piano, Ron Belcher on bass and Dezson Claiborne on drumsDessert will be served after the band begins: Chocolate Cupcake with Pomegranate &quot;Champagne&quot; ButtercreamRing in the New Year with Kenny and a Champagne Toast!
