On January 24, 2024, The Smoogies will light up the Thomson Plaza for the Arts with their exhilarating mix of funk, afro-Cuban, and Brazilian rhythms. This concert is part of the Arsht Center's acclaimed Live on the Plaza outdoor music series, and it's set to be a sensational evening.
The Smoogies, a dynamic quartet, are not just any band. They're a powerhouse of formally-trained multi-instrumentalists, featuring the talents of Vaughn "V.KEYS" Henry on keys and vocals, Dion Kerr handling the bass, and the exceptional drumming and percussion duo of Harvel Nakundi and David Chiverton. Having shared stages with music legends like Lauryn Hill, Snarky Puppy, and Ghost Note, their pedigree is unquestionable. Fresh off winning the "Jazz Road" touring grant, The Smoogies are touring their second album, "People Music," and this show is a key stop on that journey.
The evening kicks off at 6 p.m. when the doors open. Arrive early to enjoy some tantalizing light bites and a range of beverages available for purchase. Don't miss out on the happy hour prices available until 7 p.m., just in time for the show to start at 7:30 p.m.
Get ready for a night where music, rhythm, and talent converge – The Smoogies at the Thomson Plaza for the Arts is an event not to be missed!
