Stars, Stripes & Standards

There is no better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with the most American music ever written. Stars, Stripes & Standards brings the Great American Songbook to The GrandView for an Independence Day evening of timeless standards, effortless swing, and the songs that have defined American popular music for generations. Add the spectacular backdrop of the South Bay glittering below, and you have the perfect setting for a holiday celebration to remember.
Three of Vintage Noise's four core members take the stage — Michael Carter on vocals, Franz J. Díaz on piano, and Mike Hallesy on bass. This is a trio that has played together long enough that the music moves with a natural, intuitive ease. Michael's rich baritone carries the Songbook with warmth and authority, his phrasing relaxed and assured. Franz's lyrical piano playing brings color and elegance to every arrangement, his international sophistication elevating even the most familiar tunes. And Mike Hallesy anchors the groove with the kind of big, unhurried bass playing that other musicians relax around — the groove lands where it should and stays there. Together they make the perfect soundtrack for the Fourth.
The GrandView on a warm Fourth of July evening is as good as it gets in the South Bay — panoramic views stretching across Silicon Valley, exceptional cuisine, and an atmosphere built for celebration. As the city lights begin to sparkle and the music swings, Stars, Stripes & Standards becomes exactly the kind of Independence Day evening worth dressing up for. Reservations are strongly recommended.
