Kirk Whalum

Join us for an unforgettable evening with the legendary Kirk Whalum! 🌟

Hailing from his Memphis gospel roots, Kirk brings a unique blend of smooth jazz and soulful sounds that resonate deeply with every listener. His journey began in the vibrant Houston nightclub scene, where he was discovered by jazz pianist Bob James.

After relocating to Los Angeles, Kirk became a sought-after session player, sharing his saxophone talents with icons like Barbra Streisand, Luther Vandross, Quincy Jones, and importantly, Whitney Houston — his sax can be heard on the timeless hit I Will Always Love You.

With chart-toppers like For You and his celebrated Gospel According to Jazz series, Kirk's artistry has redefined contemporary music. A twelve-time Grammy® Award nominee, he earned his first Grammy® Award in 2011 for Best Gospel Song with It’s What I Do featuring Lalah Hathaway.

Holding a Brass Note on the Memphis Walk of Fame and a Star on the Nashville Walk of Fame, Whalum's contributions have been honorably recognized. His latest album, Epic Cool!, is already a hit with two #1 singles! 🎉
