In honor of Aretha Franklin’s birthday, Untitled Supper Club will pay tribute to the Lady of Soul with a night of live soul music by Chicago’s very own Brooke and the Nice Things covering a selection of her greatest hits. Attendees can gather in the Lounge and sip on Bulleit Burbon and Ketel One cocktails featured all evening.
With a career lasting more than 40 years including 18 Grammy nominations and the first woman to be inducted into the Roll-and-Roll Hall of Fame, there is scarcely an artist that deserves less respect than the great Ms. Franklin. Listing Aretha as one of the band’s main musical influences, the Nice Things’ lead vocalist Brooke Reams delights audiences with a voice both powerful and smooth that emulates a rich sound only found in true soul.
The entertainment for the evening not only has the talent to cover all of Franklin’s hits, but as well as the instrumentation – from guitar to keys to trombone.
