Midnight Serenaders @ Tony Starlights Supperclub and Lounge January 14th

The Midnight Serenaders show can be summed up simply as FUN!!!!!   These folks are excellent musicians who play 20's and 30's style jazz and pop.  This is the second time I've heard them and thoroughly enjoyed both shows.  Tunes vary from catchy, up tempo numbers such as "Can't Dance, I've Got Ants in My Pants to bluesy numbers like "Handyman", sung with naughty intent by the always entertaining Dee Settlemeier.  She and Doug Sammons pair effectively on vocals, voices blending and/or contrasting as needed.
Doug and Dee are supported by a quartet of excellent musicians; David Evans on sax/clarinet, Doc Stein on Hawaiian steel guitar, and Pete Lampe on bass, and Garner Pruitt playing a muted trumpet that gives so much of the traditional flavor to this music.
It wasn't surprising that Tony Starlights was sold out last Saturday.  This music was great and, as I said earlier, these guys are FUN!  Their next show is:
Saturday, February 4 (2 - 3 pm)
