Kirk Whalum

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Kirk Whalum, a saxophonist whose sound is deeply rooted in Memphis gospel and shaped by the vibrant Houston nightclub scene of the 1980s. 🌟

Discovered by jazz pianist Bob James, Kirk has collaborated with legends like Barbara Streisand, Luther Vandross, Quincy Jones, and Whitney Houston—his saxophone is featured on the iconic hit I Will Always Love You.

With over 30 solo projects, including the chart-topping For You and the Gospel According to Jazz series, Kirk is a twelve-time Grammy® Award nominee and won his first Grammy® in 2011 for Best Gospel Song with It’s What I Do (featuring Lalah Hathaway).

Honored with a Brass Note on the Memphis Walk of Fame and a Star on the Nashville Walk of Fame, Kirk continues to impress with his latest release, Epic Cool!, which has already produced two #1 singles. 🎶
