In the Rembrandt Spotlight for December...

Anthony Bernasconi

Anthony Bernasconi is the newest member of the band, recruited in June of 2010 for his uncanny ability to mimic a variety of different artists, and for his unbridled stage charisma.  Having Anthony onstage is a guarantee that the party is in good hands as he is definitely "hands-on" when it comes to performing.  Anthony has been known to come down off the stage, to dance with and sing to guests of all ages.  Anthony has never met an audience he didn't love.  

For over a decade, Anthony has been a prominent figure in the DJ, Karaoke and Casino Entertainment world of the Inland Empire.  Now, fortunately for us, he lends his energy and expertise to the Ultimate Party Band: Rembrandt!

Check out Anthony's Photo Montage and you'll see...

He stands out in a crowd, but is never alone.

Scott Hughes

Scotty Hughes has been the Rembrandt Trombonist since 1993.  He is a master of his instrument and has played with the likes of Bobby Caldwell, Aretha Franklin, and Bo Bice, just to name a few.  With an incredible tone and diverse range, Scotty can warm up the room with a ballad solo or light it on fire with a hot salsa lick.  But musicianship is just the tip of the iceberg with Scotty.  He is also one of the most affable and life-affirming people you will ever meet.  An avid golfer and culinary connoisseur, Scotty is a lover of all the finer things in life.  His taste in everything from music to wine, from pancake houses to steakhouses is impeccable.  If you ever want to know the best golf course in Arizona,  the tastiest Clam Chowder in Monterey or the most romantic Bed and Breakfast in Santa Barbara, Scotty's your man!   Known to the band as "The Admiral", Scotty is also an "admirable" husband and father to his true pride and joy, Dougie, age 4.  So here's to the admirable "Admiral", and to many more years at the helm.

Scotty is also an excellent vocalist. 
Listen to him "Tell It Like It Is" in this Video Montage.

July 29-30, 2011 Wood/Pohlad WeddingRoche Harbor Resort-San Juan Island, Washington

Roche Harbor is on San Juan Island, off the coast of Seattle, WA, just south of Vancouver Canada.  One part Cape Cod and two parts Blue Ridge Mountains, this remote island gem was the site of Rembrandt's most recent conquest, the Wood, Pohlad Wedding.  From the breathtaking Pohlad Estate on the West side of Friday Harbor to the quaint 18th Century Chapel at the Roche Harbor Resort, this Rembrandt road trip had a little of everything.  The Jazz Quintet set the tone on Friday night with Smooth Jazz for the exclusive Groom's Dinner.  On Saturday, Megan gave the crowd shivers with her rendition of Ave Maria at the Ceremony.  Then, the horn section "Pied Pipered" the guests down the road to the reception with a Dixieland sound.   The crowning touch was in the radiant tent, aglow with the fire and energy of the Rembrandt twelve, playing just about everything they know for six non-stop hours.  The guests' enthusiasm reigned supreme as did the curiosity of the island "locals" who came out of hiding in droves to witness the rockin' reception.  Many have since "friended" the band on Facebook. You can too!  www.facebook.com/rembrandtband
