March 26, 2011 The Valley Hunt Club in PasadenaCaddyshack-80s Party

The Valley Hunt Club in Pasadena was transformed into the Bushwood Country Club for a nostalgic Cadyshack-themed 80s dance party.  Rembrandt was up to the task with four hours of nonstop 80s classics. Is that really Rembrandt or a trio of foursomes coming in from the 18th hole?  The dress code was Golf Club Casual and the evening was simply a rave.  Don't miss Nic and Vanessa's duet on Endless Love, which was so passion-filled it inspired one guest to ask "Are you two really in love?"   Answer:  yes they are.......with music.

March 12, 2011 The Country School Fund RaiserThe Castaway-Burbank

Phillip Palmer

James Marsden

Last Saturday, Rembrandt performed for the Celebrity studded Country School Fund Raiser.  The Starlight Ballroom at the renowned Castaway Restaurant in Burbank was transformed into Old Hollywood with decor worthy of an Oscar Party.  ABC News anchor Phillip Palmer emceed the event and actor James Marsden (Enchanted, Hairspray, Hop) crooned Sinatra tunes with the band.  A great deal of money was raised for the distinguished Studio City elementary school, as Philip Palmer was superb as the auctioneer.  Afterward, the band was able to kick it up a notch and filled the dance floor with party music from all eras.  Check out the audio/video montage that ends with James Marsden's guest performance.  

In the Rembrandt Spotlight for March....

Larry Splichal

Larry has been the bass player in Rembrandt for 19 years (This month actually marks his 19th Anniversary.)  Affectionately known to his bandmates as "Lars", Larry is the very embodiment of the Rembrandt persona.  Always a charismatic presence on stage, Larry's witty repartee and infectiously positive attitude has made him a beloved figure with Rembrandt members and audiences alike.  Larry is an accomplished musician and can also sing lead and back up.  Originally from Wisconsin, Larry is a huge Green Bay Packers fan.  When he's not on stage laying down the harmonic foundation with Rembrandt, he enjoys jazz, antiques, his cats and traveling around the globe with his lady companion, Toni.

Larry also has an amazing voice.  Check out his lead vocal in this video.

February 20, 2011 Eastman/Rofe WeddingCalamigos Equestrian Center-Burbank

Rembrandt played for another great wedding on Sunday, February 20 at the Calamigos Equestrian Center.  It was the Wedding of Mike Rofe and Suzanne Eastman, two very cool people and long time Rembrandt fans.  At one point it became all about the ladies as Vanessa, Dasha and Megan did their thing on the dance floor.  The horns were on fire (as usual) as the band went past midnight.  Thanks again to the Eastman and Rofe families!
