Before a show, after a show or between Winter Fest shows, Mama Kin is the perfect place to have some delicious food, a great artisanal cocktail and a great “hang.” We’ve worked with Mama Kin to provide great music each Thursday (Free) and Friday (just $10) during Winter Fest.

The soulful Oakland-based vocalist Lilan Kane brings you her latest project, Lilan Kane Sings Nancy Wilson with her signature vocal blend of jazz, R&B and blues. With classic renditions of Nancy’s iconic songs as well as fresh rearrangements, Lilan and her band honor one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

A Berklee College of Music graduate, Kane has sold out numerous residencies at Yoshi’s Oakland and SFJAZZ, as well as performances at Minton’s Playhouse (NYC), the French Quarter Festival, Concord Pavilion, The Mint (LA) and the Fillmore Jazz Festival.
