The 27 Club presented by the Six String Society brings to life the legendary music & stories of Rock & Roll’s most infamous club. A club in which all the members share at least one thing in common; they all died tragically at the age of 27. People have wondered if they were ever all together and with the power of the audience’s imagination this occurs one evening in a mythical Greenwich Village apartment (circa 1969) the night before Woodstock. The candles burn late into the evening as these iconic figures begin to descend into the ‘Living Room.’ As the evening progresses, each icon performs their timeless songs with our signature group jam for the ages. Our All Star cast includes Whitney Shay (as Amy Winehouse), Lauren Leigh Martin (as Janis Joplin), Trevor James (as Jimi Hendrix), Tony Suraci (as Jim Morrison), Austin David (as Kurt Cobain), & Robin Henkel (as the spirit of Robert Johnson.) Additionally, this production will feature BMA (Blues Music Awards) winner Ms. Laura Chavez on guitar. After making its debut at the legendary Belly Up Tavern on July 10th, 2016, The 27 Club production has consistently sold out performances in performing art centers, prominent music venues, Nevada casinos & music festivals. So come see this magical production come to life at the Center Theater on November 29th. We will leave the light on for U!

The Bill Charlap Trio is celebrated as one of the leading ensembles in jazz today. Known for their sophisticated interpretations of the American popular songbook and jazz standards, their performances are often highlighted by Charlap’s elegant and nuanced piano playing, Peter Washington’s solid and melodic bass lines, and Kenny Washington’s sensitive and swinging drumming. A notable performance aspect is their deep musical rapport and intuitive interplay, honed over decades of collaboration. Their latest recording, "And Then Again," released in 2024 on Blue Note Records, was captured live at the Village Vanguard and showcases their continued evolution with inspired renditions of classics and compositions by jazz masters like Kenny Barron. The Bill Charlap Trio has received multiple GRAMMY Award nominations for albums such as "Somewhere: The Songs of Leonard Bernstein" and "The Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard." Additionally, Charlap himself won a GRAMMY in 2016 for his collaboration with Tony Bennett on "The Silver Lining: The Songs of Jerome Kern," which featured the trio.
