'Keepers of The Keys'
Last Show: Saturday 6 th May 2017
The Pheasantry (Chelsea)
When New York and London hit the town after theatre, when those cities stayed up late. What made a nightclub vibrant with color and possibility when it was just noise and smoke? When curtains had dropped, when plates had been cleared and nights were still young, which men at pianos formed the smart after-hours entertainment? These musicians pinned behind that instrument became destinations unto themselves, their names spoken like luxury hideaways. You visited their pianos sure of their calibre and crisp sophistication, yet none began at those heights. Each of these performers used the piano keys to unlock their futures: Nat 'King' Cole 'The Balladeer', Hoagy Carmichael 'The Honky Tonk Philosopher', Hutch 'The Gigolo' and Bobby Short 'The Bon Vivant'.
These are the 'Keepers of The Keys’. Don't miss award-winning singer and pianist Eric Yves Garcia as he makes his anticipated return to London to premiere his latest show, already a hit in New York.
