⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
Diana Krall Live at The Stafford Palace Theater
Friday, April 3, 2026, 8:00 PM
"A rare opportunity to see a world-class jazz artist in an intimate, historic 400-seat venue. It provides a sophisticated indoor experience that bypasses the chilly April evening air."
PRO TIP: The Palace is a 'listening room' style venue; grab a pre-show cocktail at the Stafford Cidery across the street to avoid the theater bar line.
