After 19 years and 5000 shows, the venerable institution of blues, Shanghai's world famous "Cotton Club " shut its doors on March 25 2017. For one night only, The Pearl will pay a musical homage to the Cotton Club featuring the original Cotton Club band, led by inimitable Blues legend, guitarist Greg Smith.

 

The Royal Hombres have been a fixture on the Shanghai music scene from the beginning of time. They held court at the Cotton Club for nineteen years and their music reflects an eclectic mix of blues, jazz and funk. The band is led by American guitarist Greg Smith with Jorland Paulino on bass, Francesco Perre on drums and Matt Cadillac Cooper on guitar and vocals.
