Phoenix Band Performs at Centech Group Event

Phoenix' most recent performance at the Centech Group, Inc. Winter Gala Event kept the crowd is a festive and in a party mood with its soulful and smooth music. Performing current and classic dance hits, the Centech Group Inc guests spent most of the night on the dance floor.

Phoenix is the newest, most sought-after, high-energy band in the Washington Metropolitan area. This versatile ten-piece band is comprised of three lead singers, a full three-piece horn section and the most dynamic four-piece rhythm section in town. The talents of Phoenix have been showcased all around the Metropolitan area, from Bar & Bat Mitzvah’s to Presidential Inaugural Celebrations.

Phoenix' 10-piece band is under direction of trumpet player Richard Kessler and features vocalists Kimberly Lewis, Jeri Frye and the energetic Tony Dorsey. The brass section features DuPor Georges (trumbone), Steve Lovecchio (sax) and Richard Kessler (trumpet). On the strings are Rudy Spruill (bass) and Barney Charlton (guitar). Norris Berry (keyboards), and Roderick Johnson (drums) round out the unit.

The Westin Hotel of Falls Church, Virginia was the venue for the gala event attended by upwards of 250 people. In addition to Kevin B. Watkins Photography, select caricaturists provided artistic products for the attendees. The band Phoenix entertained the guests with both current and classics music. I made an attempt to get as many of the guests email addresses, however, I fell a few folks short. If you work for Centech or was one of its invited guests, please feel free to pass this website on to any you feel would like to view the event. Over the next 2-3 days, more and more images from the event will be added, so check back from time to time.

I'd like to thank a few folks who made working this event possible. Ms. Dawne Howard for putting me into contact with Mr. Theodore Sapp. Also a thank you to Mr. Theodore Sapp, who agreed to contract me. Also, big thanks to Mr. Arthur Hawkins, the top-notch photographer who did all of the portrait photography and without whom I couldn't have done this job. And a big thank you to Ms. Bernadette McCarter, my hostess who kept everyone, including myself organized and took great care of the clients who took portraits.
