Ben Sharkey has been a major figure on the Detroit live music scene for over a decade. His shows blend old school cool with contemporary jazz, soul, and pop styles, creating a lively vibe every time. With over 5 million views on YouTube, his performances have been compared to legends like Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé, yet he’s much more than a vocalist -- he’s an accomplished songwriter. At Cliff Bell’s, he shared new songs co-written with pianist Chris Codish, touching on love and life’s joys with styles ranging from Latin rhythms to edgy house-dance beats. The two showtimes made for memorable nights for jazz and pop fans alike.

Doors opened earlier for dinner guests before the main performance started at 7:30 p.m. Tickets were priced at $30.
