Hailed by JazzTimes as "one of the most focused, unpretentious, no-nonsense, bop-oriented jazz singers around," Judy Wexler's debut CD, Easy On The Heart, showcased her expressive voice and gift for storytelling. With her third release, 2011's Under a Painted Sky, Judy confirms her status as a jazz singer who puts an indelible stamp on every song she interprets. The CD topped the national JazzWeek chart with widespread airplay across the country. Judy has sung internationally and throughout the U.S. at jazz festivals and leading jazz venues.

The hotel has become an entertainment mecca, offering a wide array of entertainment. Scheduled each week in the hotel's Lobby Bar, Indie and friends Tuesday, Indie Open Mic Wednesdays and Indie Thursdays all feature independent artists from all genres of music. On Friday, guests can hang out with the hotel's DJ. Guests while enjoying the delicious appetizers, delightful entrees, desserts, and handcrafted signature cocktails available from the Lobby Bar from 7:30PM to 10:30PM.

Renaissance of the Standards is sure to bring the rat pack and all their friends to the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel & Spa every Monday evening as LA's favorite crooner Luca Ellis performs the songs that made legends.
