Memorial Hall presents its Signature Series “Simply Swinging” on Friday, April 18. This year’s theme is when the songs were swinging, the manhattans were dry and the ties were narrow!

Steve Lippia, one of the most promient in-demand Sinatra vocalists in the nation, will be featured as well as the Cincinnati Contemporary Jazz Orchestra.

A Mad Men-themed reception featuring Salon 21, lite bites by Elegant Fare and Catered Affair, cocktails from Obscura and gelato from Madisono’s will begin at 6:30 followed by the performance at 8 and dancing at 9. Tickets are $40 to attend.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to throw on a retro dress, put the hair up in finger curls and sip on a martini (virgin for me and my growing belly of course! haha!) Hope to see you there!
