Event

Kellye Gray at the Sound Room

With her renowned, brilliant use of voice as instrument, jazz singer Kellye Gray has entertained dignitaries and heads-of-state, and shared stages with an impressive constellation of international jazz, blues and R&B stars in a career spanning twenty years. The San Francisco Examiner called her "a musically most imaginative tour de force." Described as "stunning scat singing, instrumental simulations and dark-toned balladry" by the Los Angeles Times, Gray creatively uses her voice as part of the ensemble. JazzTimes magazine calls her " an impressive, indeed frighteningly vast talent."

Her twenty-year career has led her to performances in major venues such as the Lincoln Center, Yoshi's, Cinegrille in Hollywood's famous Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans's oldest jazz room Snug Harbor and in the jazz caves of Paris at Les Caveaux de la Rochette. Now, you can see her in Oakland's newest venue, The Sound Room.

Kellye will be playing with the brilliant musicians Marcus Shelby, Adam Shulman and Jeff Marrs. Doors open at 7PM. Music begins at 8PM.
