LET’S DANCE

Ultimate Jam Night Hollywood’s David Bowie tribute was the next best thing to seeing the Thin White Duke live.

If you were lucky enough to catch Ultimate Jam Night Hollywood’s David Bowie tribute last week at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go, then you know what it was like to experience a supersonic, surreall evening of Bowie mania that felt like having your soul nourished with flawless artistry from the music industry’s most talented rockers.

The evening’s lineup featured mega-talents like Derek Day (Classless Act), Chris Freeman (Pansy Division, GayC/DC), Sean McNabb (formerly of Dokken), Debby Holiday, Savannah Pope, and other world-class musicians.

Each artist who graced the stage delivered a stellar performance, with Freeman’s renditions of “Rebel Rebel” and “Jazzin’ for Blue Jean” standing out as particularly captivating. During “Rebel Rebel,” his brilliant performance had him seamlessly tearing off his silver, sequined sport coat to unveil a sparkling silver dress during the iconic line, “You’ve got your mother in a whirl. She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl.”

Not to be outdone, Holliday and Day tore the roof off with their show-stealing cover of “Under Pressure.”

A nice addition to the evening was the Bowie factoids delivered by charismatic host Hal Sparks, frontman of the awesome Van Halen tribute band Nerd Halen

Respectfully, Ultimate Jam Night Hollywood’s David Bowie tribute took place on January 9, one day after the Great White Duke’s birthday (Jan. 8, 1947) , and one day before the date of his passing (Jan. 10, 2016).

Ultimate Jam Night Hollywood happens every other Tuesday at the Whisky. Explore the Whisky’s calendar for upcoming themed events. Check out more of Sunset and Clark‘s shots from the show below!
