42nd Street's renowned music venue, B. B. KING BLUES CLUB & GRILL, is celebrating a milestone birthday this summer.

Spencer Day announces his residency at the iconic Upright Cabaret on March 11th, 18th, 25th and April 1st. Drawing vocal comparisons to Michael Buble and John Mayer, and his compositions to those of Cole Porter, Paul Simon and Rufus Wainwright, Spencer Day's residency will feature performances from his adventurous album Vagabond (Concord Records), currently a Billboard Top 10 Contemporary Jazz Album, as well as past favorites from previous releases. Through his residency at The Upright Cabaret, Spencer will join an esteemed group of diverse talent who have played at the venue including American Idol's Adam Lambert, Glee star Lea Michele, Neil Patrick Harris, Grammy Nominee Taylor Dayne and many more.

Many theater-goers today have a keen sense of what 'musical theatre' should look like. For some, a Rodgers and Hammerstein classic fits the bill. Others may think of some of the mega-musicals that have graced the stage over the years, but for some, a new show like Spring Awakening excites, energizes, and adds a whole new facet to the musical theatre experience. Atlanta audiences will have the opportunity to experience this revolutionary show at the Fabulous Fox Theatre March 9 - 14 presented by Broadway Across America - Atlanta.
