“I’m thrilled to bring this style of music to such an intimate venue,” said Baron. “Performing swing and jazz standards up close allows the audience to really feel the energy, the rhythm, and the joy of the music. It’s a wonderful way to connect through sound and storytelling.”
The Cabaret Café series has become known for its unique blend of elegance, intimacy, and high-caliber performances.
