The John Paris Band had the pleasure of being invited to perform at a wonderful event at the Montgomery Club this last week. We’ve performed at this venue several times previously and it is always a great experience. This is one of those special places where the venue really makes the event a huge success as soon as the guests walk through the door. The Montgomery Club is run by Gibson’s Steakhouse (so you know the food is going to be aces) but it is strictly a special events venue and not a restaurant.
The decor is done entirely in a Great Gatsby, roaring 20s style – very elegant and classy with a retro, art deco look. And unlike many special events venues it has a full restaurant grade kitchen on-site – naturally the food is one of the main attractions. The management and staff are all super friendly and very helpful. The place is actually very down to earth and cozy feeling.
Everyone had a ball, it was a really great night, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly. We had our fantastic pianist, Kevin, performing on the house grand piano for cocktails and then our jazz quintet, looking sharp in tuxedos, with our outstanding female vocalist, Michele, for dinner and on into the night.
This is one of our favorite places to perform. It’s always an honor and we’re looking forward to getting back there soon!
