Special Engagement: Chris Williams Sextet August 8, 2008

Be a part of history with award winning jazz vocalist Chris Williams for a special engagement performance that will be recorded for a live CD/DVD. This event is also a celebration of Chris Williams 30th birthday! Seated is limited with an $8 cover charge.

Canadian-born jazz vocalist Chris Williams has impressed audiences with his intense passion, vocal proficiency and musical maturity. He has built a loyal following, as his highly entertaining performances are met with great enthusiasm by people of all ages.

Terence M. Love, owner of Steamers said, “For Williams, it isn't that he knows how to sing jazz standards, but that he is a vocalist searching for more. A performance provides Chris the opportunity to learn, manipulate, reflect, and often dissect a tune in search of its feeling and meaning. Chris Williams always seems to achieve this goal, and does it with style and presence that makes it seem effortless. Don't miss this gifted, unpretentious gem."

Chris Williams won a 2007 Orange County Music Award for his Latin jazz. In addition, he performs straight-ahead and bebop jazz while infusing new twists into the old standards. Chris is a regular performer at the 5-star Ambrosia restaurant and The Vault VIP Lounge. He performs the third Tuesday each month at Steamers and has been doing so for the last 7 years. Chris has been touted as a “Fabulous Find" by KLAC radio, featured on the Fox 11 News, and received radio recognition on KKJZ 88.1 FM with Helen Borgers and on KABC 790 AM with Doug McIntyre. In Canada, his music can be heard on AM740 in the Toronto area.

The menu at Steamers features beers, wine, cocktails, sodas, specialty coffees along with salads, sandwiches, pizzas, entrees, appetizers, and desserts. Reservations are strongly encouraged as his shows do sell out. Call 714-871-8800 to reserve your spot.
