The Queen Sessions | Whitney Moore (Queen Bee & The Honeylovers), Honoring Ella Fitzgerald

The Queen Sessions at Hotel Eve | A celebration of the legendary women who shaped jazz.

As the bandleader and vocalist of Queen Bee and the Honeylovers, Whitney Moore Roda has spent years immersed in the jazz and swing traditions of the 1930s and ’40s. Ella Fitzgerald has been a particular inspiration, not only for her extraordinary voice and groundbreaking improvisation, but for the playfulness and spontaneity she brought to every performance.

In this tribute, Whitney celebrates the original Queen of swing with a selection of favorites from the Great American Songbook. Trumpeter Justin Ray joins her to revisit some of the iconic duets of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, with Taylor Pierson on piano and Trevor Stoia on bass rounding out the quartet.

$10 weekdays -$15 weekends at the door (all ticket proceeds are 100% passed to the band, backed by a living wage guarantee from Hotel Eve)

*Reserve a table in advance, or join us impromptu the night of the show. Reservations/advance tickets are recommended for preferred seating, but not required. Tickets are available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.  Event Details and Tickets
