The Robert H. Jackson Center will host its signature end-of-summer fundraiser, Jackson After Dark, on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 6 to 9 p.m., featuring performances by Lucas West, who placed third on Season 29 of NBC’s "The Voice."
West, a Fairport, N.Y., native and recent State University at Fredonia graduate, captured national attention with a knockout-round cover of Billy Joel’s "New York State of Mind" that Joel himself shared, a moment West called a "dream come true." Since his run on "The Voice," West has released his debut single, "But I’m Alone," now available on all streaming platforms.
"Jackson After Dark will not just be an event, but an experience. A celebration of the five senses," says David Niles, RHJC’s Director of Development. "Guests will be free to wander the elegant, candlelit rooms of the historic Kent Mansion as the evening unfolds around them."
Company members of Sukanya Burman Dance will weave improvisational performances throughout the center, finding guests wherever they roam. Cellist Mandy Majtan will perform from the front porch, while guitarist Norm Karin plays inside the mansion.
Studio D Catering will offer hors d’oeuvres from a live Chef Action Station in the Grant Room, sponsored by M&T Bank. The Jackson Bar will serve specialty cocktails featuring spirits from Evans Wines & Liquors and wines from Johnson Estate Winery. The evening will also debut a new craft beer by Wicked Warren’s, "The Justice," brewed in honor of Robert H. Jackson.
Tickets are $85 per person, and all proceeds support programming and operations at the center. Tickets may be purchased through Sept. 7 at RobertHJackson.org/events or by calling 716-483-6646.
