Ring in 2027 with Billy Dixon & His Soultrain Express at Frankie's Jazz Club

About this party

Frankie's is Vancouver's go-to room for live jazz and soul, and its New Year's Eve show turns the club into a supper-club party for one night. Billy Dixon leads his Soultrain Express band through Motown, soul and old-school rock 'n' roll: the kind of set that pulls people out of their chairs well before midnight. The six-piece band behind him covers guitar, keys, sax, trumpet, drums and bass, so this is a full horn-section sound rather than a duo in the corner. Your ticket covers a lot: a reserved seat, a three-course dinner with a choice of dishes, champagne at midnight, party favours and a balloon drop at the countdown. Prices run from $155 to $165 depending on where you sit, so the difference between the cheapest and best seats is small and worth paying. Showtime is listed as 9 pm. The room is intimate, so book early if you want a table near the stage.
