Description
Eric Darius For the internationally-known Jazz/R&B Saxophonist, songwriter, producer and performer, Eric Darius, there are no limitations when it comes to breaking new ground. While growing up, Darius was also influenced by Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, George Benson, David Sanborn, Miles Davis, Bob Marley and Grover Washington Jr., among many others. While still in high school, at the age of 17, he recorded and released his first album titled, "Cruisin’," which would lay the groundwork for his seven full-length albums. In 2004, Darius signed his first record deal with Higher Octave Music, after label representatives saw him perform and wow the audience at Florida’s Clearwater Jazz Festival. This resulted in the release of his national debut album, "Night on the Town" later that year. In 2006, Darius released his third project, "Just Getting Started" through Narada Jazz. In 2008, he released "Goin’ All Out" (Blue Note Records), in 2010 "On A Mission" and 2014 "Retro Forward" (both through Shanachie Entertainment). With six highly-acclaimed albums to his discography, Darius continues to rack up some impressive statistics: three No. 1 hit singles; eight top 10 Radio hits on Nielsen’s R&R/Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart; 2004’s Debut Artist of the Year by Smooth Jazz News Magazine; named 2015’s SESAC Top 10 Jazz Artist of the Year; 2017’s Best Jazz, Saxophonist, Composer, Producer and Musician of the Year Award at the 1st Annual Citril Starz Awards; with many more milestones and honors to come. Darius has made TV Appearances on Fox’s The X-Factor, TNT’s Mob City and has shared the stage with GRAMMY award-winning artists Prince, Mary J. Blige, David Foster, Carlos Santana, Jamie Foxx, Babyface, George Benson, Marcus Miller, Wyclef Jean and many others. Darius believes in giving back to today’s youth in the form of education. His "On A Mission in the Schools" initiative include making regular appearances to speak and perform with students from elementary and middle schools to high schools and at the college level. “I benefited greatly from the music-arts programs, and education is very important to me,” says Darius. “I’m an advocate for music in the schools and I want to help keep it alive. It’s important to me to expose kids to Jazz, encourage them to follow their dreams and inspire them to play musical instruments. I feel I have a responsibility to pay it forward, encourage the next generation and help preserve the future of music.” Seating is First Come, First Served $10 Food or Beverage Minimum Per Person Inside Club Full Bar & Full Dinner Menu Available No refunds or exchanges. Please make sure you purchase tickets for the correct date and time.
