Overview
The Whitney is pleased to announce the return of its popular Garden Parties for the summer season, along with the debut of a new Sunday afternoon event series featuring themed dining experiences and live music.
A long-standing warm-weather tradition in Detroit, the Whitney Garden Parties invite guests to enjoy an evening of live entertainment in a historic outdoor setting. This year’s series promises an expanded lineup and a fresh addition of Sunday programming designed to enhance the summer experience.
Laura Rain is a product of her surroundings, a hard driving soul singer who uses the power and finesse of her own voice to inspire and electrify the spirit. Since forming in 2012, the band blends their favorite elements of vintage soul, funky ‘60s organ boogaloo, lowdown blues, dance music, and old-school R&B. Laura and producer-songwriter George Friend have created a unique style, winning numerous Detroit Music Awards, and heavily touring the U.S. Canada and Europe for the last 10 years. Laura Rain’s voice soars as she weaves her own path through a classic, but thoroughly modern and funky sound, reimagining the R&B, gospel, and soul that the city made famous.
