Kirk Whalum
August 8 @ 8:00 pm - 10:30 pm PDT
Kirk Whalum brings his soulful saxophone to the Chrome Showroom at Santa Fe Station on August 8, 2026, giving northwest Las Vegas an evening of smooth jazz, R&B and gospel from one of the instrument’s most recognizable voices. The Memphis-raised musician is globally known for the sax solo on Whitney Houston’s 1992 recording of “I Will Always Love You,” and he toured as Houston’s opening act for seven years. Across a long career he has earned a dozen Grammy nominations and won for Best Gospel Song in 2011, while building his acclaimed “Gospel According to Jazz” live-album series. Santa Fe Station sits off the 95 in the Summerlin-adjacent northwest valley, an easy locals’ drive from the Strip, and the Chrome Showroom offers the kind of close, seated setting that lets Whalum’s tone breathe. For jazz and R&B fans, it is a rare chance to hear a genuine crossover master up close. Get tickets and plan your Las Vegas visit.
