12/14 - 12/23: The Velvet Underground Show

(select days) 12/14 - 12/23

The Glass Factory

The Velvet Underground Show Jacksonville is a vivacious, flirtatious soiree ft. and an amazing cast of singers, musicians, dancers, and acts that will have you thinking you are in a live Cabaret. All the Music I performed live at the venue, including performances by Flamenco guitarists, world champion ballroom dancers, and incredible contortionists.

Doors will open hours before the show, providing you with the perfect opportunity to savor delectable cuisine from food trucks while enjoying a fancy cocktail or alcoholic beverage from the bar. This is more than just a show, it's an experience worth savoring. And, if you want the VIP experience, ticket holders will indulge in a private, luxurious area before and after the show.

This event will be a fundraiser for underprivileged children in our community around the holidays. The hope is to raise several thousand dollars to buy toys for children who otherwise might not receive any gifts for the holidays this year. To make this happen they'll be partnering with some schools in the lower income communities of Jacksonville to deliver the toys to their children the week after the event is over.
