A Berklee graduate who has performed everywhere from the White House to Boston Symphony Hall, Knott brings a sensual, otherworldly presence shaped by her work in music, narrative, and performance. Her sound is lush, expressive, and deeply felt and invites you to slow dance with the shadows.
Driving the heartbeat of the night is James “StickNasty” Small, an Oakland-based drummer, producer, and actor known for his unshakeable pocket and impeccable taste. A longtime collaborator of 3x Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, Small blends deep groove with restraint and intention, creating rhythms that feel both primal and tender—the kind that keep bodies close and heads nodding all night long.
Rounding out the trio is Jonah Levine, a composer, producer, and sonic architect whose work spans jazz, soul, hip-hop, and global influences. With credits alongside Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Jhene Aiko, and more, Levine brings a romantic emotional palette shaped by themes of love, loss, and vulnerability. His playing is spacious, textured, and raw—perfectly tuned to Valentine’s energy.
Together, these artists create an immersive late-night experience: sensual grooves, lush harmonies, and slow-burning improvisation designed for lovers, friends, and anyone craving connection. Whether you’re celebrating romance or simply the beauty of feeling something deeply, this is Valentine’s at Black Cat—intimate, intoxicating, and unforgettable.
