The Clift Royal Sonesta Hotel is extending its popular Redwood Room After Dark entertainment series with two evenings of live jazz each week through December 2026.

Presented every Thursday and Friday in the legendary Redwood Room, the expanded calendar will showcase an impressive roster of acclaimed and diverse musicians, including Sundra Manning, Grant Levin, Eamon Flynn, Glen Pearson, David Udolf, and other notable performers.
