"PROM NIGHT" with Heather Christian
"PROM NIGHT with HC" is an intimate night of moon crooning with special guest Ian Axness. Together they will perform a smattering of the best slow dance songs American Pop music has to offer alongside classical reveries and a handful of songs Christian wrote when under the influence of too much wanting. Tonight is a night in celebration of the schmoop, the disco ball, the swoon. Come with a partner for foreplay, come alone for hearty sighing and champagne.
