Belly up to the bar pallie!

2010-03-04T12:32:00.001-08:00

This Saturday night I am back at one of my favorite places to perform! Amici's Restaurant - "IN THE BAR". Yes, there is nothing better than singin' & swingin' while Justin the bartender "takes care of the band"... He also does a fine job of taking care of his customers too. It will be a swaggering night, I guarentee it. It always is... so stop in, have dinner or just stop in for drinks. (If you do decide to have dinner, no worries. You can hear the band just fine from the dining room.)

Don't forget about next week where we will be at Stanziale's in Stratford where they have a huge dance floor for all you dancers out there. It is a fixed price for dinner and dancing. Make your reservations now since last time in January it was sold out and many of you were not able to get in.
Call now and reserve your table before it's too late! (203) 377-1411.
