Fundraiser
Since its opening in 2011, part of the Royal Room’s mission has been to provide quality instruments to its performers. At the top of that list is a Steinway B piano, something very unusual for a club of this size and especially a club focused on local musicians. Over 10% of the Royal Room’s startup costs was the purchase of this instrument. After 5 years, that piano needs some serious love, and 20 of Seattle’s finest pianists have graciously donated their service for 2 nights of standards and originals on March 16 and March 23, 2016.
Lineup information and tickets available on our March Calendar.
