<h3 style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Thursday night just got a whole lot more exciting! Monkey Bar is introducing a new live music residency, Jay Abo and The Band, a collective of four celebrated musicians. Get ready to be </span><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">swept off your feet with emotional resonance and sonic innovation set against the beautiful backdrop of Monkey Bar&rsquo;s panoramic rooftop views!</span></h3>
<p style="line-height: 2;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="line-height: 2;"><span style="font-family: 'Avenir Medium';">Jay Abo and The Band are known for redefining genre boundaries and reshaping the live performance landscape in Dubai. Blending soul, indie, electronic, and jazz into a seamless, shape-shifting soundscape, the band crafts sets that move from stripped-back intimacy to electrifying improvisational highs inspired by the likes of Bon Iver and John Mayer.</span></p>
