On Wednesday, May 28th, prepare for an unforgettable evening as Julian Vaughn, a gifted bassist and smooth jazz sensation, takes the stage at Raleigh Improv. Known for his dynamic performances and magnetic stage presence, Vaughn promises a night of music that blends smooth jazz, classic R&B, funk, and heartfelt love songs. This musical “gumbo,” as he describes it, will leave audiences feeling uplifted and moving to every beat.

Julian Vaughn’s musical story is one of evolution and determination. Initially a drummer, Vaughn pivoted to the bass when the crowded drums section led him to discover his true calling. That decision proved life-changing, and today, he is celebrated as a leading figure in contemporary jazz. Vaughn’s ability to craft smooth, groove-filled hits has brought him acclaim and opportunities to perform around the world.

Throughout his career, Vaughn has collaborated with several renowned artists and still dreams of teaming up with legends like Babyface, Brandy, and Raphael Saadiq. His performances have taken him to iconic locations such as Dubai, Cape Town, and Italy. Yet, it was a show in Augsburg, Germany, approximately 12 years ago, that stands out as one of his most memorable experiences. The standing ovation he received, lasting several minutes, solidified his connection with global audiences and remains a cherished highlight of his career.

Attendees of the Raleigh Improv show are in for a stirring evening where the music will speak for itself. Vaughn guarantees a high-energy performance, leaving no one in their seat. Whether you’re an avid jazz fan or simply someone craving a night of exceptional live music, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Tickets are available now at improv.com. Be part of this electrifying evening and experience Julian Vaughn’s magical blend of music firsthand!
