American Opera

American Opera is the product of John Bee, a born and raised Michigander currently residing in New York City. With a unique vocal range that effortlessly moves from whisper-soft to singing at the top of his lungs, Bee's one-of-a-kind vocal delivery and brutally honest lyrics make an instant connection to anyone within earshot.

American Opera's high energy live show is both unpredictable and interactive, with spur-of-the-moment improvisation and audience interaction galore. A true entertainer, Bee plays with effortless precision and sings every song as if it is his last.

Recording recently wrapped on the American Opera debut full-length album. Small Victories is an expertly produced powerhouse that features everything from horn and string arrangements, quietly picked guitars, full-fledged rockers, and even an a cappella performance. The album chronicles the past three years of John's life and begins with his move to New York City, just hours after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the bustling metropolis.

Admission: $10 in advance / $12 general admission (standing room only)
