Sundays in LA - Brenna Whitaker

[Miguel]

On Sundays Haley sometimes visits the W Hotel Hollywood because they have live jazz in The Living Room.

It’s free to get in and stand, but you can also reserve a regular table for $1,000. The Jonas Brothers have often hung out at a specially reserved table in this room packed to capacity and the likes of Katy Perry and others have been known to hang at this hotspot.

Turns out The Living Room is another name for the lobby.

Well known singers frequently sit in with the band led by a rather amazing young singer named Brenna Whitaker. Stevie Wonder and Macy Gray have sat in, just to name a few.

The music got underway somewhere around 10 PM when Brenna Whitaker took the stage. Now mind you, they use the beautiful hotel lobby so it holds at least a thousand people. It was jam-packed. Brenna blew me away right out of the gate with her powerful bluesy, rock vocals and incredible stage presence. She’s quickly becoming a favorite of famous musicians. She actually sang for Gene Simmons’ wedding recently which has upped her coolness factor in the Hollywood scene even more.

Split this post from 1/31/12 off from the old picture-a-day thread in order to add this tweet made half an hour ago:

Big thanks to @HaleyReinhart and @Stefano for jumping on stage last night at @StationHW for #JazzSundays with @Brennawhitaker. #somuchtalent

Oh nice! I've never seen this thread or Brenna Whitaker. I bet that was a blast for Haley and Stefano (especially for Haley). Her and Haley sound quite a bit alike in voice and style. Thanks M for yet another great moment at haleyfans.com

The original post also contained a reference to someone Haley will share the bill with soon:

I'm sorry, but Brenna Whitaker is kind of scary looking with those black eyebrows and blonde hair!! Look at some of her previous pictures...

Sunday Nights at the W Hotel: Hollywood and All That Jazz

The Living Room Lounge at the W Hotel in Hollywood has been the setting for Date Night for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. It’s been a place where David Beckham can unwind and Nicole Scherzinger can dance the night away. Even Carly Rae Jepsen is tweeting about it. Every Sunday night, from 9pm to 2am, the W Hotel is transformed into an intimate Jazz Club featuring live vintage Jazz and Blues from Brenna Whitaker and her Little Big Band.

Last night’s attendees included Mel Gibson, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Karina Smirnoff, Derek Hough, Kenny G, Babyface, Josh Groban, as well as "American Idol" alums Haley Reinhart, Pia Toscano, and Stefano Langone. Gavin DeGraw sang “Let’s Get It On” and Michael Bolton took the stage to perform some of his biggest hits.

you're lucky to be living near "Haley ground zero", many more opportunities for a Haley performance. I have to pay for air fare and hotel for that

... You might think about sneaking to the W to maybe catch a Haley impromptu Jazz performance sometimes...

Tonight is Michael Jackson tribute night at the W Hotel Jazz nights...
Nothing that says Haley'll be there, but it does sound like something she'd love.

Worth a look see if you live near by to see if any of the Idols in the area show up to perform some MJ (Pia supposedly was also with Stefano and Haley last time)
