The event was held at the newly renovated Westin Bonaventure hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Reynolds’ has been promoting shows in the “Lobby Court” for the past year and local talent has included violinist, Lila Hood, who kicked off the series, Lynn Fiddmont who sang with Stevie Wonder and Kenny “Babyface” Edmunds, Windy Barnes who toured with Michael Bolton and Julio Iglesia, coming off her year long Beverly Hills Hotel engagement Margo Thunder, Inland Empire saxophonist J.

“There are so few places where the 40+ group can go and enjoy an evening of good entertainment with food and drinks in a comfortable environment. Explains Kenneth. “This is what we have been accomplishing at the Westin Bonaventure.” The audiences have been as varied as the talent. There is no cover charge or admission fee. “It’s really just a great way to spend two hours on a Saturday evening.”
