The Magnolia Room: NYC Style Cabaret Emerges in Downtown Norwalk Just in Time for Spring
BJ Ryan’s will be adding a new music venue in its upstairs event space with a weekly cabaret show beginning with its Grand Opening on Friday, April 6th, 2018. My good friend and musical partner, Kenneth Gartman, along with BJ Lawless and Buckley Ryan (Owners of BJ Ryan’s and BJ Ryan’s BANC House Restaurants) have created this new space – a cozy, hospitable room with white linens, candlelight and a new baby grand piano. I’m excited to be one of the inaugural performers of this new space and I will be doing a solo show there in the fall! Meanwhile, I’ve listed the exciting line up (so far) and you can visit the MAGNOLIA ROOM website for constant updates!
All of this can be enjoyed Friday nights for a $20 cover, $20 minimum. The doors open at 7 pm for dinner and the show starts at 8 pm. The roster of April/May/June shows boasts some of cabaret, Broadway and singer/songwriter’s strongest talents:
