Russ Lorenson to Bring 9th Annual CHRISTMAS IN SAN FRANCISCO to Feinstein's at the Nikko, 12/11

Bay Area crooner Russ Lorenson is back making merry with his 9th annual Christmas in San Francisco show -- with special guests Carly Ozard and the 16-piece Kelly Park Big Band -- at Feinstein's at the Nikko on Thursday, December 11 (8 p.m.). Tickets for Russ Lorenson range in price from $25-$40 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein's at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting. There is a $20 food and beverage minimum per person inside the showroom which guests can use towards cocktails as well as a variety of small plates crafted exclusively for Feinstein's at the Nikko by Executive Chef Philippe Striffeler, through Restaurant Anzu. Cheese and dessert platters will also be available in the showroom.

This always-swingin' evening offers plenty of seasonal tunes by some of the Bay Area's most beloved entertainers. It's like hanging out with that musical family we all wish we had, but could only watch on TV.

Russ is heard each year on "The Bay Area's Official Christmas Station - 96.5 KOIT-FM" with his recording of "Christmas in San Francisco," and like the San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker, A Christmas Carol at A.C.T., and the ice rink in Union Square, the show has become an annual Bay Area holiday tradition.

So skip the Christmas caroling and spend a cozy winter's evening with Russ and his pals as they celebrate the holidays with an evening of jingle jazz!

Guests who purchase the prix-fixe dinner at Restaurant Anzu will receive a complimentary section upgrade (subject to availability) and get to choose their exact seat locations within the upgraded section.
