Bill Kwan 'More Than This' CD Release Party

Local favorite Bill Kwan fashions a beautiful hybrid vibe, lending his intimate vocal approach to soulful, easy swinging jazz and adult contemporary pop songs from across a rich multi-generational swath of the pop/rock landscape. Please join Bill and his band while he celebrates the release of his second album “More Than This”. From Rodgers and Hart to Radiohead, Bill will be performing selections from the album placing his own interpretive and indelible stamp on this expansive and innovative repertoire.
