Singer. Songwriter. Musician. A sincere passion for his craft, along with a diverse musical taste helps to create the unique and soulful sound that is Sammy Krimstein.

JARREAU WILLIAMS
6 PM - 8 PM
American R&B singer/songwriter Jarreau (juh-ROW) Williams is known around the DMV as the "man with the golden pipes.” The Alexandria, VA native and 3x Wammie Award winner is a charismatic front-man who brings high-energy, soul, funk, humor and a special form of kindness to every performance. His smooth, powerhouse vocals fused with 70s funk, 80s soul, 90s new jack swing, and 00s hip-hop/R&B influenced grooves, catchy pop hooks, beatbox, and lyrical innuendo keep listeners fantasized; wanting more stories of love, positivity, truth, and the quest for freedom. His vocal stylings have been compared to the likes of Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and The Weeknd. Other influences include Justin Timberlake, Usher, Prince, Whitney Houston, and Luther Vandross to name a few. Jarreau’s professional credits include backing 4-time Grammy Award winner Michael Buble, praise and worship with President Barack Obama and the First Family, as well as performing the National Anthem for thousands in Washington DC’s most prominent professional sports arenas.
