With an on-going residency at Ronnie Scott’s in London, now in it’s seventh year, Massachusetts-native Kai Hoffman has travelled the world, with shows ranging from the Blue Note Milano to the Elgar Room of the Royal Albert Hall, with the Sheraton Hotel Bangladesh and the European Jazz Expo in between! A cabaret compere, jazz singer, rock and roll diva and recording artist, with three studio albums under her belt, “[Kai] is the whole package from head to toe” (Jazzwise Magazine) and also has a bit of a cheeky side: think Mae West meets Marilyn Monroe meets that very strict high school Latin teacher that you kind-of always had a crush on! Kai has been featured in countless magazine articles and radio, including Time Out London, The Stage, Classic Car Magazine, BBC Radio & Jazz FM - and is thrilled to be back at the Metropolitan Room. See ya at the show!

- Ian Shaw, BBC Radio
