Regatta Condominiums Event

Room with a Lake Michigan View

Expertly played piano in the Regatta Condominiums

As a musician who is lucky enough to be living in Chicagoland, I still relish any and all gigs downtown Chicago. I was very happy to play the Regatta Condominiums, featuring an excellent Lake Michigan View. The party was for a large group of friends and coworkers, a bit more lively than my typical corporate party or wedding.

The room was the common area of the Regatta Condominiums and except for the name, it was anything but common. With an easy to fill space and clean modern furnishings, the venue offered the perfect spot for the evening. With two pianos in the corner, we were ready to pump out the jams all night long.

A Great Evening at The Regatta Condominiums

Even though we were eager to get the party started, the evening started out very nice. At first, our focus was more on playing background music while everyone mingled and got to know each other. There was no actual start time and people continued to flow in as we continued to warm up. The host threw a black tie event and we looked like a sharp team wearing Tuxes. As more and more people gathered, the host decided to make a speech. It was perfectly read and really hit home how much he cared for everyone in the room.

The night carried on and people became ever more comfortable with the space. Soon, they caught on that the piano players could play pretty much anything. A couple of drinks later and we started getting requests for some modern pop hits. There was quite a few Taylor Swift requests and when we started to belt them out, the dance floor quickly filled up. On par with the evening was the request for Piano Man, a classic that we nailed while all the guests circled around us, drinking and singing along. It was a terrific party with a Lake Michigan View (which turned out to be the least interesting part of the evening).
