The artist will put on show his instrumental mastery and musicality that he spent over 25 years developing, entertaining people in various venues such as hotels, nightclubs, and restaurants.

Although mainly influenced by the likes of jazz legends Miles Davis and Chet Baker, Newman also looks toward modern artists like Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen to learn from and develop his creativity after.

This openness to contemporary pop culture gave way to major collaborations, including working with Lady Gaga for her Las Vegas jazz band as a trumpeter and as the co-producer for the "A Star is Born" movie's "La Vie En Rose" rendition.

He also currently directs Bruno Mars' band at the Bellagio and curates performances at Aman New York's Jazz Club. As a performer, his Vegas residency "Brian Newman: AFTER DARK" is widely celebrated for evoking the classic "Sin City" flair.

Mastercard Midnight Theatre is located on the Manhattan West Plaza between 31st and 33rd streets, between 9th and 10th avenues in Manhattan. For more information on the show, visit Midnight Theatre's official website here.
