The Salon Presents New Years Eve, Eve at the Copacabana

Following several years of their wildly successful parties on the night before New Years Eve, THE SALON is set to present another unforgettable vintage affair - their 4th annual NEW YEARS EVE EVE party at the historic Copacabana in Times Square, in the final event celebrating their 10th Anniversary year.

This year's venue is the newly reopened COPACABANA, one of the most famed and historic clubs in New York City. Since 1940 everyone has performed at the Copa from Sinatra and the Rat Pack, to Ella Fitzgerald, Liza Minelli, Edith Piaff, The Supremes, and the list goes on, and on. Now in the heart of Times Square, the new Copa boasts one of the largest dance floors in town, with beautiful new Brazilian-wood floors, numerous bars, and state of the art sound systems. As a celebration of the Copa's musical heritage, The Salon is proud to present some of the hottest talent in town representing the many eras of the Copa's illustrious history. This stellar lineup includes live swing, jazz and lounge music, dancing, burlesque, vintage performers and artisanal cocktails.

Featured live musical performers on the main dance floor include the George Gee SWING ORCHESTRA, one of the top swing big bands in the country and a favorite among dancers; sultry siren QUEEN ESTHER & THE HOT FIVE performing many of the great jazz standards; and late night hot jazz sets by the MICHAEL ARENELLA QUINTET.

From 6 to 9pm in the Copa’s newly completed rooftop lounge, counter-intelligence officers and undercover agents are invited to the Top-Secret “Spy Lounge,” to observe classified performances and cocktails with SARAH TRACEY & THE JET SET QUARTET for the album release party of her debut full-length CD, “Tell No One.” The Spy Lounge commences covert operations with an early set by the handsome Ford male model and singer, DON GATOR & The Kings Of SPYROCK. Between sets DJs JACK FETTERMAN & GINA OF THE JUNGLE will be spinning spy themed lounge music throughout the night.

Additional performers throughout the event include: The 1920’s Tap Dancing Sensation, THE MINSKY SISTERS; Emcee Extraordinaire DANDY WELLINGTON; and sizzling burlesque dancers LEGS MALONE, HAZEL HONEYSUCKLE and GAL FRIDAY along with our lovely vintage Go-Go dancers and stage kittens EVELYN VYNL and SYDNEY SUNRISE. DJ RYAN SWIFT spins on the main dance floor, and a custom cocktail menu will be prepared by the Salon’s cocktail impresario, FREDO from Loungerati.com.

Many people ask, why the night BEFORE New Years Eve? The Salon’s founder, Patrick Soluri responds, “For a few years we’ve had amazing events on New Years Eve Eve – and we throw some good events! Most people have commitments and plans the next night, but nothing to do the night before, often friends or family in town for the holidays. Plus there is so much pressure for New Years Eve... most people tell us they had more fun at our event, the night before!”

The Salon is Friday, December 30, 2011. Doors open at 6pm, with live music from 6:30pm to 1:30am. THE COPACABANA is located at 268 West 47th Street (corner of 8th Ave) in New York City. Online tickets are $25 in advance, or $30 at the door. There are a limited number of $70 VIP Tickets. 21+ (ID required)
