NYE New Orleans Style
Its time to party New Orleans style this NYE!
Join us at The Moldy Fig for a 7 course feast of southern soul food and live jazz.
Tables for the early seating are available 5.00 – 6.00pm and must vacate by 7.30pm.
The second seating starts from 8.00pm and goes all night till we ring in the new year!
Both seatings will be accompanied by live jazz featuring vocalist Sarah McDonald.
Sarah McDonald effortlessly segues from applying a dash of tropical swelter to 1930’s Jazz Standards, to tinkering with a Thelonius Monk torch song or a soul jazz rendition of an Amy Winehouse classic. Deceptively laid back and self-assured, with an undercurrent of emotions waiting to sweep you by, Sarah McDonald evokes cool smoky jazz club atmosphere with expressive, mellifluous phrasing and a tomboyish attitude delivered by a beautiful, soulful voice. Sarah is a singer who has been as influenced by horn players and drummers as she has by the great vocalists. Having delved deeply into the music, she draws from the greats of the history of jazz, blues and soul to select choice standards, along with original, contemporary repertoire that she infuses with a soulful authenticity.
