<h3>'The Most Electrifying Party In Town' FORBES</h3>
<h3>'This new underground jazz speakeasy is the epitome of cool' TIMEOUT</h3><h3></h3><h3>October 2 is the opening weekend of Daddy Rabbit in our new home - The Ace Hotel, New York. Expect an incredible evening of food, drink, music and mingling.</h3>
<h4></h4>
<h4>Descend into New York's coolest speakeasy, where the walls hum and the night bends.</h4>
<h4><br></h4>
<h4>Daddy Rabbit isn't a show — it's a living, breathing organism of sound. Classically trained pianists trade fire with bassists who groove like it's gospel. Horn players wail beside jazz singers who whisper and roar in the same breath. MCs spit truth while beatboxers conjure entire rhythm sections from nothing but air and instinct.</h4>
<h4><br></h4>
<h4>No two nights are alike. This is a carousel that never stops turning — a rotating cast of world-class musicians spinning original compositions alongside daring reinventions of Soul, Jazz, Rock, Funk, and RnB classics you thought you knew.</h4>
<h4><br></h4>
<h4>Come hungry for something you can't name yet. Leave changed.</h4>
<h4><br></h4>
<h4>This is Daddy Rabbit. Get in before the door closes. It's a show where you can literally stand with the band.</h4>
<h4><br></h4>
<h4>Doors at 7pm. Show at 8pm. All tickets come with seats and table service.</h4>
