Valentine's Day with Quevedo, Kostopoulos and Donnay
From the event description:
Come celebrate Valentine’s Day with three outstanding vocalists: Valeriana Quevedo, Kay Kostopoulos and Roberta Donnay.

This will be a great night of music, drawn from the Classic Jazz and Great American Songbook of the ‘20's and ‘30's. Naturally, there will be plenty of love songs, not to mention the fact that this kind of music is inherently romantic—especially when you are snuggling up on one of the many love seats and sofas in the cozy, comfortable ambiance of The Back Room!
