With looks as beautiful as her voice, Kat Gang brings her unique vocal style described as a "musical breath of fresh air" to the stunning Rose Room of the Plaza Hotel, the iconic landmark (at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue). The Rose room overlooks the Plaza's new Fifth Avenue lobby, located when the legendary Persian Room was once host to such stars as
Bob Hope,
Kay Thompson and
Liza Minnelli. The Rose Room has a policy of no cover or minimum for its music, fabulous cocktails, wine and champagne.
Kat won over audiences at the renowned Oak Room of The Algonquin Hotel this past summer with a show appropriately called "Summertime." She also appears every Monday in the more intimate setting with guitarist
Joe Young from 7 p.m. at Arcane in Manhattan, 111 Avenue C.
