ANDERS HOLST AND THE BUBBLE LOUNGE PRESENT ‘LADIES’ NIGHT OUT’
An intimate performance and champagne tasting

“His (Anders) honest and original love songs can give romantic music a brand new chance. Do your heart a favor and check him out.” - QUINCY JONES
“In addition to having an emotionally mature take on the nature of relationships; Holst has an equally advanced take on music… It’s not inconceivable that Holst could become a massive star with this album [SoHo Suite]...classy chanteuse Adele tops the charts repeatedly...Josh Groban continues to sell albums and pack arenas, and the adult audience has finally spoken – they want their own music, that speaks to their own experiences. And Holst can be the one to give it to them.” - CORTNEY HARDING, MUSIC EDITOR AT BILLBOARD MAGAZINE

“SoHo Suite is the perfect follow-up to Anders Holst’s very successful ‘09 release, Romantika. It’s simply a top-notch collection of memorable songs...This one is highly recommended!” - SCOTT O'BRIEN, SMOOTHJAZZ.COM
(NEW YORK, NY) JULY 20, 2011 – The ‘Sting of Stockholm’ is returning to trendy Tribeca hotspot, The Bubble Lounge for a ‘Ladies’ Night Out on August 24th, 2011 at 7:00pm. The evening will include a live performance interspersed with a champagne tasting.

The Bubble Lounge is very excited to welcome back American Smooth Jazz Award Nominee Anders Holst to host their ‘Ladies’ Night Out”; an evening of champagne accompanied by performances featuring Anders’ smooth and romantic sound. Anders will kick-off the evening, followed by The Bubble Lounge’s expert sommelier introducing four champagnes that guests will have the chance to taste and compare. Afterward, Anders will conclude festivities with a full set in his trio formation. At the end of the night, The Bubble Lounge will give away a bottle of champagne and attendees will receive a gift bag courtesy of Soapology.

To keep to the theme of the evening, Anders will perform covers of American standards touting the elegance of champagne. He will also play selections from his latest release SoHo Suite, which was meant as an ode to his adopted New York neighborhood and the emotions it inspires. The album blends smoky, emotive vocals with Anders’ signature velvety sound; sonically reflecting an emotionally mature take on the nature of relationships while exhibiting a new approach to adult contemporary composition.

After the release of his critically acclaimed EP, Five, Anders released his first full-length album, Romantika, in January of 2009, which was touted by Smooth Jazz.com as “a grand success;” moreover, Chuck Taylor of Billboard Magazine heralded Holst to “become the new crowned prince of contemporary romantic music.” The ten songs on the album capture Holst's remarkable fondness for penning songs that are truly from and of the heart, enhanced by a genuine and refined pop sensitivity and an incomparable elegance. Following the success of Romantika, Anders secured multiple performances at the prestigious Feinstein’s at the Loews Regency, an appearance on WNBC’s Weekend Today and in 2010, a nomination at the American Smooth Jazz Award in the International Male Vocalist category, among the likes of major label artists, Michael Bublé, Seal and Matt Dusk.

Most recently, Anders made an appearance on FOXNews Live, and SoHo Suite was featured on AOL Music and Napster. In June, Holst donated two performances to Sing For Hope’s Pop Up Pianos program, one of which took place at the legendary Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens to kick off the series.

ABOUT ANDERS HOLST

Soulful Swedish singer/songwriter Anders Holst blends smoky jazz with the adult contemporary melodicism of Sting, Seal, and Leonard Cohen. Born in Gothenburg Sweden, Anders grew up in a home filled with music. Not only from the thousands of choirs for which his nation is known, but also his father’s diverse record collection – Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Frank Sinatra, and later The Supremes, Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach. Following his influences and passion, Anders wrote his first song at age eleven. After years in the consulting business, Anders released his first EP, Five in 2005, which All Music Guide heralded as, “deftly weaving pop, jazz, and classical into a smooth style all its own.” The great reception encouraged the 2009 release of his second album, Romantika – a collection of songs that ponder love, separation and redemption. Romantika’s release lead to a multitude of shows at the prestigious Feinstein’s at the Loews Regency, a northeast tour of Botanical Gardens as part of his “Love Blooms” tour, a performance on WNBC’s Weekend Today in New York, and a nomination for International Male Vocalist of the Year – alongside Michael Buble, Seal and Matt Dusk – in the 2010 American Smooth Jazz Awards. His third album, SoHo Suite was released in June 2011.
