The good folks at Liverpool LightHouse in conjunction with SOUL INSPIRED EVENTS proudly present Grammy award winner/nominated Sax legend Kirk Whalum & friend/singer/songwriter, John Stoddart on the 10th September from 7pm.
Kirk formed his band in the 80's and linked up with Bob James and they both went on tour. This led to successful albums and Kirk's first number 1 album. He later became an in demand session player for the likes of Al Jarreau, Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Quincy Jones & Whitney Houston. An eleven time Grammy nominee, Kirk won his first Grammy award for Best Gospel Song ( 'It's what i do featuring Lalah Hathaway) alongside Jerry Peters.
You can hear him playing on Whitney's hit single, I Will Always Love You. He then followed that with a phenomenal hit album, For You. His New album released in February, called Romance Language pays homage to John Coltrone and Johnny Hartman.

Also on the night is the mega talented musician, John Stoddart. He has written for artists like Al Jarreau, Will Downing, Celine Dion, Take 6, Patti Austin & Michael McDonald.
"In my 30-year career, there is not one musician in whom I have more confidence,for whom I have more respect, with whom I have travelled more miles and negotiated more musical and life changes than John Stoddart," says two-time Stella award-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum, who is also a multiple Dove Award nominee and Grammy award winner.
