Live voices · Low lights · Grown company
Where the song gets close.
An intimate evening of live vocal performance for grown folks who came to listen. One featured voice, one theme, a limited number of seats, and a room that leans in.
Seating is limited every session.
Not a club. Not an open mic. A lounge.
Singers Lounge Sessions is a monthly night built around the voice. The lights go down, the room gets quiet, and a featured artist sings close enough that you feel every note.
Each session has a theme that shapes the music, so no two nights are the same. Come for the songs, stay for the people. Regulars become family here.
Come upstairs. Stay a while.
A featured voice
One artist each session, given the whole room. Every featured artist is paid for their art.
A theme every time
Each session tells a story: the writers, the history and the love songs behind it.
A room that listens
Limited seats, low lights, good drinks and grown company. Phones down, hearts open.
Black Love
an evening of song
We open the doors in February with a celebration of Black love in every form: the writers who gave us the words, the history that shaped the sound, and the love songs that raised us. Expect classics, deep cuts and a few surprises, delivered up close.
416 13th St, Oakland
SophistiSexy
Sophisticated and sexy. Grown and sexy, for a new generation. Dressing up is part of the night: it tells the artist you came to listen, and it makes the whole room glow.
Wear the thing you've been saving.
Parris Lové
Oakland native Parris Lové is a vocalist rooted in neo-soul, jazz and R&B, raised in a city that has always overflowed with artists.
Her career began in the Bay's soulful live sessions, in rooms like Era Art Bar & Lounge, where singers, musicians and listeners gathered close and the music carried the night. After years of living and performing across the country, including nearly a decade on the East Coast, she came home to bring that feeling back.
Singers Lounge Sessions is that homecoming: an authentic, upscale, sexy night Oakland can look forward to every month. As host, her job is simple: set the mood, introduce the artist, and make every guest feel like a regular.
Parris has performed at Outside Lands, Stern Grove and the Super Bowl tailgate.
