Synopsis

Lex Fransche

His soft voice and mellow instrumentals set the tone for the night–a night of bliss. Lex strips away the anxiety you might of brought with you and puts the room in a state of mental repose before then grabbing your emotions with soulful guitar solos making you forget the woes of life and be completely present in the moment.

Laura Quinn 

When Laura begins to sing , you are transported to a  jazz cafe from the 1920s. Picture in your head a smoke-filled stage emulating the cigarette smoke that would surround your table as you enjoyed a night of intimate entertainment. Her very voice puts you at ease, yet captivates at the same time creating, a real sense of tranquility all around. 

Yellow Days

The thing that grabbed me most was Yellow Days’ carefree playfulness as he strutted around the stage with the biggest grin on his face. From the denim two-piece to the checkerboard hair cut, everything about him was a statement.

The entire stage was a mood of its own. The stage props created a real sense of being in a hotel lobby.   The hostess never breaking character, adding to the movie that you felt you was a part of. 

There was a great vibe throughout the venue as everyone swayed side to side matching the sense of bliss on stage. His music and the atmosphere just sweeps you away.
