Venna at Magic Stick

A saxophone melody can slip into your evening and change everything about the mood. Venna brings that expressive power to Magic Stick in Detroit on Friday, November 27, 2026, at 8:00 PM, putting a Grammy-winning saxophonist and producer into your Thanksgiving weekend. The musical palette crosses jazz, bossa nova, R&B, soul and rap, which means you're in for a genre-crossing night with an instrument at its center that refuses to be confined.

Debut album MALIK arrived in September 2025 after two earlier EPs, and the record represents personal experiences and creative freedom. That personal connection is part of the pull. When you know a musician has put autobiography and artistic independence into the work, you approach the performance with different curiosity. The album features recorded collaborations with Jorja Smith, Leon Thomas, Smino and others, giving you names to recognize and songs to anticipate without any promise of Detroit guests. Come ready for the saxophonist's vision, shaped by those influences and built around self-expression.

For lovers of instrumental fluency and the hybrid energy where jazz meets contemporary rhythm, this booking offers a Friday opportunity to sink into a sound that moves between traditions. A bossa-nova swing, an R&B groove, a rap cadence—all filtered through the voice of the horn. Give yourselves an evening where the instrument leads and you follow.
