A NIGHT DESIGNED TO BE FELT

Soulful Soirée is designed to stay with you.

Whitney Jones created the experience to bring feel-good music and energy into an intimate courtyard setting where exceptional live musicianship, beautiful atmosphere, thoughtful food and zero-proof hospitality, and genuine human connection all belong in the same evening.

This is not about watching music from across a crowded room.

It is about being inside the experience.

CLOSE TO THE MUSIC

Intimate seating keeps you connected to every lyric, groove, expression and solo.

You are close enough to see the musicians communicate, feel the pocket develop and experience the smallest moments that can disappear in a larger room.

INTENTIONAL HOSPITALITY

The experience begins before the first note.

Thoughtful seating, signature zero-proof mocktails from The Healing Lounge, 100% vegan Cajun/Creole food available from Maya’s Cajun Kitchen, and a carefully curated courtyard atmosphere make the evening feel considered from the moment you arrive.

It is hospitality designed to complement the music—not distract from it.

EXCEPTIONAL LIVE MUSIC

Whitney Jones is joined by Jermaine Lockhart, Mel Brown, Marcus Williams, Rich Kniss and Joe Beck for an evening centered on feel, musicianship, groove, spontaneity and connection.

Every lyric, solo, rhythmic turn and unplanned musical moment has room to land.

MORE THAN A CONCERT

Come with someone you love.
Come with friends.
Come on your own.

Come because great music still has the power to bring people together.

Come in. Be present. Feel the music.

Leave feeling better than you arrived.

THE ARTIST AT THE CENTER OF IT

WHITNEY JONES

Whitney Jones is a vocalist, songwriter, producer and bandleader whose music blends Contemporary Jazz with soulful nuance, rhythm, warmth, depth and emotional honesty.

Her music continues to reach listeners at scale. “True Love” has surpassed one million streams, while “Under the Moonlight” reached #1 on the Urban Influencer Smooth Jazz Chart and was recognized among SmoothJazz.com’s Global Year-End Top 100 songs of 2025.

Whitney’s career includes touring with CeCe Peniston, co-writing the Billboard No. 2 Hot Single hit “Purple Funk,” and becoming the first female bandleader to hold a weekly residency at Boston’s historic Wally’s Jazz Cafe.

Paris-based publication Paris-Move described Whitney as “one of the most inspired and inspiring artists” on today’s Soul scene.

But credentials only tell part of the story.

You have to experience Whitney live.

This is her music vulnerably expressed—close enough for every lyric, every breath and every moment to land.
