Andres has revealed that his goal since the beginning if the project has been to preserve the history of the beautiful 100+ year old building while creating a restaurant space worthy of Black Bean Deli. He commented. "As with any historic building project, the journey has come with unique challenges. Over the past year, construction adjustments and shifting timelines have taken longer than any project we’ve ever been part of. While we’ve been ready and eager to move forward, we’re still awaitisBlack bea ing the final handoff of the building before we can begin creating the space we’ve envisioned for you." He continued, "What hasn’t changed is our commitment. The City of Winter Garden has been incredibly supportive, and our determination to be here has only grown stronger. We remain focused on bringing the same food, coffee, and hospitality that have shaped our Orlando and Winter Park locations." Andres has declined to give a opening date just yet, promising to share updates as soon as they are able to move ahead. For now customers can enjoy Black Bean Delis existing locations at 1835 E.

- Laufey’s A Matter Of Time Tour lands in Orlando with special guest Suki Waterhouse
Grammy Award-winning artist Laufey brings the highly anticipated tour to Kia Center in support her latest album of the same name. GHoton the heels of launching her latest album “A Matter of Time,” GRAMMY-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey is on the road promoting the release with the" A Matter of Time Tour." Suki Waterhouse (“Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, I Can’t Let Go”) is supporting on all dates. The tour will see Laufey bringing her enchanting and theatrical live show to Orlando’s Kia Center on Monday, September 15. Tickets for the show are still available: https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/220062B5B8AA21E4 Additionally, Laufey recently announced The Laufey Foundation, with the primary mission of supporting young musicians with the resources they need, especially through youth orchestras, to reach their full potential. One dollar from each ticket sold on the A Matter of Time Tour will go towards The Laufey Foundation. Discover the latest entertainment news from throughout Central Florida. As Laufey (pronounced lay-vay) began to craft “A Matter of Time,” she felt freer than ever. “Every new album for me is a blank book of stories to write,” said Laufey, and it’s true. An artist who pours her life experiences into her work, she infused “Everything I Know About Love” (2022), with coming-of-age tales revolving around leaving home and the GRAMMY®-winning “Bewitched” (2023), she dove headlong into young love. Brought to life with sweeping orchestral arrangements, interwoven strains of bossa nova and jazz and Laufey’s honeyed alto, those albums cemented Laufey as a star who can make sounds from bygone eras feel timeless. Now, on “A Matter of Time,” Laufey further crystalizes her singular sound—one still rooted in her beloved influences, but forgoes any strict standards or rules. “I’m constantly thinking about classical and jazz, how to properly preserve them and pay homage.” For this album she continues to do so while also noting, “I just wanted to let my heart wander.” To that end, she teamed with a pair of co-producers, one comforting and familiar—Spencer Stewart who worked with Laufey on her first two albums —and one new to her, but deeply attuned to artists looking to open up, Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran). Feeling sonically unrestrained gave Laufey the space to share new sides of herself while exploring sometimes heavier themes. “People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories and romantic music,” said Laufey. “This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.” “A Matter of Time” finds Laufey at her most daring and also playful, as she captures the experience of “real love” in its many forms and what it means to observe as it strips you down to when you are at your most vulnerable. Laufey has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz-and classical-infused pop music. She has become a bridge for the older music she adores, from Chet Baker to Carole King to Ravel, by offering her bold interpretation to a younger crop of listeners who have become deeply connected over time. This was all by design — Laufey’s self-assigned raison d’être — and it worked, allowing her to bring to life the whimsical universe known as “Laufey Land.” Raised between Reykjavik and Washington, D.C., she learned piano and cello as a child, later studying at Berklee College of Music. There, she wrote her debut EP, 2021’s “Typical of Me,” whose striking single “Street by Street” debuted at number one on Icelandic Radio, the first of many achievements that have grown to include 5 billion global streams, a social media audience of 25 million, the biggest jazz LP debut in Spotify history and an album in Billboard’s Top 20 (both for “Bewitched”), a growing stockpile of platinum plaques, a Forbes 30 Under 30 designation and being named one of TIME’s 2025 Women of the Year. She has sold out the Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall; performed backed by the LA Phil, the National Symphony Orchestra and the China Philharmonic Orchestra; shared the stage with the likes of Jon Batiste and Raye and collaborated on records with artists from Beabadoobee to Norah Jones.
