Overall, the night was a great success and we hope the Fallen Officers Gala will become a Philadelphia institution for years to come.

City Rhythm performed at the June 18th Abby and Chris's wedding at the National Constitution Center.  The band provided music for everything from the ceremony to the main reception.  It was a beautiful day for an outdoor ceremony and the group’s ensemble played classical favorites including the “Romeo and Juliet Main Theme” for the processional.  The couple’s first dance, “You and Me” by Dave Matthews, was  sung by guitarist Rich Cox. It was a great party in the impressive setting of the Center’s main hall.

On June 11th City Rhythm performed for the fabulous wedding of Emily and Brian at the DuPont Country Club.  The band’s combo provided music for cocktails on the lovely veranda and then the full group entertained all night long as the guests danced in the beautiful ballroom.  The bride and groom’s first song was “Have I Told You Lately” and the dance sets included everything from Outcast’s “Hey Ya” to Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance”.

On Saturday, April 30th City Rhythm performed for a wedding at the Ritz Carlton in Philadelphia.  They provided music for the ceremony, including melodies from “Water Music” and the popular Pachabel Canon in D.  The elegant reception was wonderful and City Rhythm played everything from standards to Motown to hits by Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas.

On Wednesday, June 1st City Rhythm performed for the 30th Anniversary of Airgas, Inc.  The spectacular event was held at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia.  The band performed tasteful dinner music early in the evening, then got the crowd fired up with great dance music into the night.  The party was a huge success and the band was a key part of the occasion.  City Rhythm even played incidental music for the company’s presentations, including the theme from “Rocky” when the specially designed cake from “Cake Boss’ was brought out.

City Rhythm was the headliner at the May Chestnut Hill Garden Festival for the 8th consecutive year.  As usual, the band put on a great 3 hour show as locals and visitors strolled Germantown Avenue on a lovely spring day.  The crowd looks forward every year to hearing the fabulous sounds of the band on the main stage.
