Club 240's Great Gatsby Party Featuring Alexander Browne and His Boulevardiers
Calling all flappers, vamps, hoodlums, sugar daddies, red hot mamas, sheiks and shebas!
Get out your glad rags because youre invited to the wildest ball of all - Club 240s very own Gatsby Party, April 13 at 8 p.m. at the Crescent Legion, 2643 128 Street.
Dance the night away to the champagne rhythms of the Roaring `20s with Alexander Browne - The Mad Hatter of Melody and his seven-piece band The Boulevardiers.
Fresh from a successful live-streamed showcase at White Rocks Blue Frog Studios in November, Alexander and his all-star band (Henry Christian on trumpet, Jeremy Berkman on trombone, Tony Sheppard and Graham Howell on saxes and clarinets, Angus Kellett on piano, David Sabourin on tuba and John Cody on drums) are winning devoted new fans with each performance.
The bandleader, who has been described as Oil Can Harry meets Cab Calloway, channels the Jazz Age like no other performer on the scene today.
Part music historian, part bon vivant, Alexander couples his smooth megaphone-crooner vocals with the fox trots, slow blues, Charlestons, waltzes, tangos and rumbas that put a sizzle in the 1920s. Close your eyes and youll swear youve time-travelled back to New York, London and Paris in that dazzling decade.
Its a chance to dress to impress in your snazziest Gatsby-Era threads - there will be prizes for best single and couple costumes - as well as cut a rug on one of the finest dance floors in the Lower Mainland.
For those who work up a Prohibition-style thirst, suitable libations are available at the bar, and, for the hungry, Seriously Good Catering is ready to serve up tastebud treats youll agree are the cats pajamas and the bees knees!
Doors open at 7pm, show at 8PM - $20 Cover
Come and experience one of the lower mainlands best dance floors. Delicious hot food available from Seriously Good Catering, reasonably priced beverages and lots of free parking.
