SUMMARY:Love\, Laughter & Legacy: Alvin Garrett Brings a Soulful Mother’s Day Experience to Birmingham (May 10)
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, AL — If you’re looking for the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year\, Alvin Garrett is bringing something special to the Magic City. \nOn Sunday\, May 10\, the historic Carver Theatre will set the stage for “Laughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration”—a one-of-a-kind experience blending live music\, comedy\, and heartfelt moments designed to honor the women who raised us. \nFor Garrett\, this isn’t just another show—it’s personal. \nA Homecoming with Purpose \n“I’m currently promoting a new album entitled Talk To Her Like This\, and this event is the perfect homecoming for my promotional tour\,” Garrett shared. \nThe project centers around love and uplifting women\, making Mother’s Day the ideal backdrop. \n“Why not bring it home on the holiday that we celebrate our mothers and talk to ‘them’ like this…or shall I say sing to them.” \n \nMore Than a Concert — It’s an Experience \nGarrett is intentional about the energy he brings to the stage\, and this show will be no different. \n“When I perform\, I always infuse love and laughter into my shows\,” he said. \nThat balance is key—especially on a day that can carry a range of emotions. \n“Mother’s Day may be a heavy emotional day for some; and I want this experience to be one that puts a smile on everyone’s face as we give flowers to the mothers that are with us and to those that are watching over us.” \n The Carver Theatre Connection \nReturning to the Carver Theatre adds another layer of meaning. \n“About 10 years ago\, I promoted ‘Christmas with The Cats’ at The Carver and it was one of my favorite venues\,” Garrett reflected. \nHe describes the venue as the perfect mix of intimacy and production value—ideal for the type of connection he wants with the audience. \n“I’m hoping this can be the start of a new tradition in Birmingham.” \nBeyond the nostalgia\, the Carver Theatre is experiencing a fresh wave of energy thanks to its recent renovations—earning praise from patrons\, promoters\, and even national touring artists. The upgraded auditorium now features a state-of-the-art audio/visual system\, delivering an immersive experience through enhanced sound\, projection\, and media control capabilities. The redesigned foyer offers a welcoming reception and bar area perfect for pre-show vibes and post-show conversations. Add in the jazz museum on the second floor\, and the Carver has reestablished itself as more than just a historic landmark—it’s a modern\, multi-experience venue built for everything from intimate concerts to full-scale productions. \nA Curated Lineup with Rising Talent \nJoining Garrett on stage are Yoshihanaa and DJ Wright\, both artists he’s actively working with behind the scenes. \n“I wanted to present artists that I am currently producing original music with as well\,” he said. \nFans can even expect to hear brand-new music\, including “Fall In Love Again\,” a record Garrett co-wrote and produced. \n \nHonoring Legacy Through Music \nThe heart of the show is right there in the title—Legacy. \n“Legacy has a soundtrack\,” Garrett explained\, pointing to the timeless influence of artists like Al Green. \nHe’s also planning a special tribute during the show\, including a performance of his song “Flowers\,” designed to honor both present and past mothers. \n“Love and laughter is the key to gracefully embracing the legacy of our mothers.” \nA Message Rooted in Joy \nGarrett credits much of his outlook—and his music—to his own mother. \n“She always taught me to approach life with joy and laughter\,” he said. \nThat message is something he carries into every performance. \n“I try to spread joy and inspiration with my music and my life…even during difficult times.” \n \nWhy You Don’t Want to Miss This \nIf you’ve never experienced Alvin Garrett live\, this is the show to start with. \n“I’ve built a legacy in Birmingham of presenting shows with a high level of professionalism and production quality\,” he said. \nBut this one hits different. \n“I just want to show my gratitude with a performance that everyone can be proud of…especially our mothers.” \nWhat’s Next \nThis Mother’s Day concert is just the beginning. \n“This will be the kickoff show for my ‘Talk To Her Like This’ tour\,” Garrett revealed. \nThe tour will include full-band performances\, media appearances\, and stops across multiple cities as he continues to push his latest album. \n Event Details \nLaughter\, Love & Legacy: A Mother’s Day Celebration\n📅 Sunday\, May 10\n🕔 Doors: 5PM | Show: 6PM\n📍 Carver Theatre – Birmingham\, AL\n🎟️ Tickets: JazzHall.com \n \nStay Connected \nFollow Alvin Garrett for updates: \n\nInstagram / Facebook / TikTok: @thealvingarrett\nWebsite: AlvinGarrett.com

SUMMARY:Dîner en Blanc Birmingham Returns September 12 with Chrisette Michele and Chef Lamar Lockett for an Elegant Evening Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, Ala. – One of Birmingham’s most anticipated social experiences is making its return this fall as Dîner en Blanc Birmingham celebrates its 7th edition on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026. Once again\, more than 1\,000 guests dressed entirely in white will gather at a secret location for an unforgettable evening inspired by the elegance and traditions of Paris. \n \nThis year’s celebration continues to raise the bar with the announcement that Grammy Award-winning singer Chrisette Michele will perform live while acclaimed Birmingham chef joins the experience as the featured culinary talent. Together\, the two additions promise to make the 2026 edition one of the most memorable in the event’s history. \n \nKnown for showcasing Birmingham’s culinary excellence\, organizers have selected Chef Lamar Lockett to help create an elevated dining experience that reflects this year’s international theme\, “Une Soirée Parisienne – La Belle Époque.” The theme celebrates one of Paris’ most elegant eras\, encouraging guests to embrace timeless all-white fashion while enjoying exceptional cuisine\, conversation\, and entertainment beneath the stars. \nOne of the traditions that makes Dîner en Blanc unlike any other event is the mystery surrounding its location. Guests first gather at designated departure points before being escorted by volunteers to the undisclosed venue. Throughout the evening\, signature moments such as the iconic Napkin Wave and the sparkling sendoff create an atmosphere of celebration that has helped make the event a global phenomenon. \nParticipants are asked to follow several long-standing traditions\, including wearing an all-white ensemble and bringing white tables\, chairs\, linens\, dinnerware\, and décor. Guests may either pack their own gourmet picnic or reserve catered meals and rental equipment through the event’s online store. In keeping with its French heritage\, wine and Champagne are served\, while guests are also welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages. The event also maintains a strong commitment to sustainability by asking every attendee to leave the venue exactly as they found it. \nDîner en Blanc Birmingham is hosted by Jasmine Allen\, who returns alongside Lynnette Favors to welcome guests for another year of elegance and celebration. Allen describes this year’s experience as “elegance in motion—timeless\, luminous\, and unapologetically French\,” capturing the spirit of the 2026 theme and the atmosphere guests can expect. \nOriginally launched in Paris\, Dîner en Blanc has grown into an international cultural phenomenon spanning more than 120 cities across 40 countries\, bringing communities together through fashion\, food\, entertainment\, and unforgettable shared experiences. \nGuests interested in attending are encouraged to join the Birmingham Fan List to receive updates and notification when Phase 3 registration becomes available.
