The first event (12/11/25) will feature Holiday & Motown tunes with a Detroit-themed menu. Next, Mardi Gras (2/19/26) brings Cajun flavors paired with a New Orleans-style band. Cinco de Mayo (5/5/26, our third event, features Latin-inspired courses and music. Finally, Detroit jazz (9/3/26) gets its own surprise celebration of music and food.

#1 – Holiday & Motown with Ben Sharkey!
Over the past 10 years, Ben Sharkey has been one of Detroit’s premiere live entertainers. He infuses his live performances with a hip and sultry fire, bringing his artful swagger to the stage with a colorful fusion of old-school cool, contemporary jazz, soul, and pop.
Since the charismatic vocalist posted his first raw home videos of himself singing Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra classics to YouTube in 2007, he has amassed over 5 million views worldwide for over 70 clips. By increasingly popular demand, the Michigan native has amassed hundreds of performances at jazz hotspots like Cliff Bell’s and a five-year and counting residency at the Axis Lounge at the MGM Grand Detroit.
He’s been compared to everyone from Frank and Buble to Dean Martin, Mel Torme and Harry Connick, Jr. – yet he’s evolved from being a stellar vocal interpreter to master storyteller and songwriter. Collaborating with his pianist Chris Codish, Ben has written clever, crafty tunes expressing every aspect of love, deep heartfelt connections and the sheer joy of living life to the fullest in the sexiest, naughtiest, most sensual and playful way possible. Stylistically, he lets his muse lead the way to booming percussion driven landscapes infused with jazz, pop, swing, R&B, Latin and crisp, edgy house-dance beats that make him the ultimate contemporary hipster as well as a masterful throwback artist.
