Symone French at the Lobby Lounge

Come to the Northshore Harbor Center's Lobby Lounge this evening to find out what you get when you mix a little bit of heartache, with a splash of Jameson and a healthy dose of soul. What you get is Symone French. Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, where she was heavily influenced by her parents' musical tastes, the backing track to Symone's upbringing was an eclectic blend of Steely Dan, Hall & Oats and Bonnie Raitt (from her father); with lasting soul influences thanks to her mother's love for the music of Teena Marie, Donna Summer, and Prince. Those influences cultivated the sound that audiences across the Gulf Coast flock to French's performances to hear. Find out why when French takes the stage at Harbor Center's Lobby Lounge from 7 pm. 100 Harbor Center Boulevard. $20 general admission, with reserved tables seating two or four available for $50 and $100, respectively. harborcenter.org.
