<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The March 6 performance by Gene Perry’s 10-piece orchestra was exactly the type of show I was looking forward to when I first learned about Anthology.<\/p>\n
Yes, it’s great to see big national acts in an intimate setting, but there is something just as satisfying seeing an up-and-coming salsa band cooking on all cylinders.<\/p>\n
Even better for me was running into a lot of old friends I hadn’t seen for a while, such as the lead singer, Quino, who is more familiar to reggae fans for his work in Big Mountain.<\/p>\n
In fact, my friend ran into pals he hadn’t seen since high school and it seemed like everyone knew everyone.<\/p>\n
What a blast! I’m kicking it with some members of the Voz Alta Project, a local artist collective, on the third floor lounge while enjoying some great music and a very tasty glass of Pinot Noir (mmmmm, velvety. Just the way I like it).<\/p>\n
Amazingly, the music sounded good every place. An old friend of mine taught me a trick: If you want to know if a band is good, listen to how they sound when you’re in the restroom. <\/p>\n
Trust me, Gene Perry’s Orchestra sounds great there (however, I think they’d prefer to remain on the stage).<\/p>\n
It was a chilly night out on the outside lounge, but the heat of the dancers two floors below managed to rise up and toast my tootsies.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to more shows, especially when my wife and I can get a babysitter. Anthology is a lot more fun for date nights than going to see a chick flick at the mall.<\/p>\n
