If your event is unique, then the band should be too! Rather than the usual setlist, your will hear us do Fats Waller to Professor Longhair, to Nat KIng Cole to Ray Charles.
The Poker Club's founder, George Kilby Jr. leads the band with the
dynamic Lily White on vocals and saxophones. The inspiration for the band
comes from the late Howie Wyeth, who worked with Bob Dylan and became a celebrated performer of the "stride" piano style.
The music is a mix of lots of great Americana - from the standards from the 30's to swing and blues, and often a touch of funky New Orleans.
Please contact the The Downtown Poker Club for all occasions where great American music is appreciated and where folks like to dance! The talent and energy of the band always makes a success of the event - from hole in the wall jazz dives to black tie.
