The Green Room 42 presents Kelsey Warren in "Blak Emoji: The Influences" on Friday, January 31st, 9pm. This solo show is an intimate genre-hopping trip through the music that has shaped Kelsey as an artist. He shares stories of his wildly diverse musical experiences such as performing with Jose Carreras and opening for alt-rock legends Primus in the same week. With keyboards and guitar, Kelsey takes audiences from his childhood R&B obsession to LA Glam to the gritty world of CBGB's with a stopover in Cleveland for a jazz lesson. Kelsey and a few special guests perform songs from such inspirations as Cole Porter, Prince, Nancy Wilson, Radiohead, as well as selections from Blak Emoji's critically acclaimed album KUMI.
The Green Room 42 is located at 570 10th Ave inside YOTEL Times Square.
