“Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport is rooted in the creative arts, paying homage to Boston’s rich history of visual and performing heritage, technological innovation, and unrivaled academic tradition,” says Managing Director, Michael Jorgensen. “We are thrilled to have someone like Will activate our performance stages and bars with talented musicians just like himself.”

Finally, Dailey introduced a new genre of performance art to the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport with the Summer Authorship Series in Lifted Restaurant, Earfull mini bringing local authors to read from their work, accompanied by live musical performances. Books from this unique series will live on the bookshelf at the hotel’s upscale Mediterranean restaurant and bar, Kestra.

Lifted Restaurant also plays host to once-monthly SoFar Sounds concerts, staging intimate performances by three “secret” local musicians in Lifted’s Privacy Room. Each musician performs for fifteen minutes, delivering an authentic experience for hotel guests and the Boston public.

Dailey has also tapped the talents of Berklee student Charles Loyst, a multi-dimensional jazz pianist whose inspirations include Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, to fill Kestra with the ambiance and relaxation of a jazz lounge.

“As a Boston-based artist, it’s rewarding to contribute to a place where city’s deep history of visual and performing arts is valued,” said Will Dailey. “There is nothing like listening to live music, and Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport celebrates that through and through.”
