Fostering heartfelt connections through
one-of-a-kind music experiences across the country, with proceeds

SAN
FRANCISCO, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts'
Luxury & Lifestyle Collection, announced the 2023 artist lineup
for its annual Kimpton Off the
Record series. An immersive and intimate live concert series
featuring tastemaker artists and bands created to bring people
together and give back to communities, Kimpton Off the Record will kick off on
February 23 and feature five unique
concerts throughout the year in Phoenix, San
Diego, New Orleans,
Charlottesville, Va., and
Grand Cayman.
As part of Kimpton's commitment to "events for good," the
concert series showcases a diverse mix of artists across musical
genres, styles and geographies, and celebrates key moments in time
such as Black History Month, Women's History Month and Black Music
Month through a shared love of music. Each event will take place in
new restaurant, bar and event spaces at Kimpton properties in
North America.
"Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants has always created open and
welcoming spaces that foster real, human connections, and we've
always believed in the power of music to bring people together,"
said Kathleen Reidenbach, Kimpton's
Chief Commercial Officer. "We have an exciting lineup of artists
for Off the Record this year who will take center stage at some of
our newest spaces. We are thrilled to be able to create these
really immersive and intimate listening experiences for our guests
and our local communities while also giving back to our nonprofit
partners."
Ticket sales and silent auction profits from this season of Off
the Record will directly benefit Kimpton's non-profit partners,
such as National Urban League, who
works to provide economic empowerment and educational opportunities
for the underserved in America.
