Jacob Khalil makes music that does something specific to a room. It lifts it. Not into abstraction — into presence. Into the warm, grounded certainty that things are going to be okay. The New Yorker called him "affable and sunny." FOX 5 NY said his is "a voice that soothes the soul." BroadwayWorld described his audiences "clapping, singing, and swaying along." He sang alongside Sam Smith on Saturday Night Live, performed in the Hollywood film History of Sound starring Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor, and has headlined sold-out concerts at Birdland — where his performances have been so warmly received that he was invited to fill in for Grammy-winning pianist Billy Stritch at his weekly residency.

A Four Hands Collective community artist who has brought his sunshine energy to our Open Streets shows on Columbus Avenue — stopping passersby in their tracks, turning strangers into an audience, sending everyone home lighter — Jacob brings his original music and his generous spirit to City Vineyard this Sunday evening, joined by Harlem-born jazz pianist Elias Swift, whose sound moves effortlessly from calm to chaotic and carries listeners through something deeply felt.

City Vineyard at Pier 26 — waterfront, intimate, Sunday evening — is the perfect setting.
