C5 at the Chit Chat Club - Friday 3/30

Hey folks, I'm excited to report we'll be making our debut at the Chit Chat Club, one of Los Angeles' coolest vintage music events. Past nights have featured the Lucky Stars, the Bonebrake Syncopators, and my Benny Goodman-quartet style group w/ Russ Reinberg, DJ Bonebrake and Chris Dawson. 

The Chit Chat is held in the amazing Art-Deco masterpiece that is now known as the Park Plaza Hotel:

Located at at 607 S. Park View, between Sixth and Wilshire, it's right by the MacArthur Park Red Line stop. 

The Chit Chat also has fantastic cocktails, even by my standards. We rarely get to play venues where you can get a properly made drink! Check out the full details at www.thechitchatclub.net

The band starts at 10:30pm, and admission is only $15. ($10 before 9:30pm). 

We've got all our best players, and we'll be joined by special guest vocalist Wendy Rea.

November Gigs: Danceathon, Catalina, and our Thanksgiving Surprise

Just a reminder about our November gigs - three great events that everyone should take part in. First up, The 24-Hour Cancer Danceathon, which raised over $180,000.00 last year to benefit cancer research and treatment at City of Hope. The event is always really fun, and is something substantial we can all play a part in. Second, we'll be playing the second annual Catalina Swing Dance festival along with George Gee. Finally, we'll be following up with our annual night before Thanksgiving Surprise. For those of you who've attended past night-before-thanksgiving gigs, you know they're always well attended and extra special. Hope to see everybody at all three gigs!
