Let’s see…we’re counting down to 2012 and the world hasn’t gone up in smoke yet. And to honor the fact that you’re still alive and kickin’, what do you think you should do?
You should party, of course! I can’t think of a better way to ring it all in than with great friends, great food, great music and a great big glass of the fizzy stuff at just the right moment.
Speaking of music, how does a night of hot rock and cool jazz sound? Connecticut’s own Jeff Pevar, Mr. Hot Guitar himself, will be the man of the midnight hour at Infinity Music Hall’s New Year’s Eve bash and cool, cool Pamela Means will supply the jazz quotient while you dine in unobstructed majesty. It’s an inspired combination; you get to ramp it up with the amazing Ms. Means and then slam it into overdrive with one of the country’s best touring guitarists.
Jeff “Peev” Pevar is a playing, producing, composing, recording and touring phenomenon. This is a guy who’s played onstage, non-stop, from the age of fifteen and has been associated with the crème de la crème of rock and roll royalty for decades. Ray Charles, B.B. King, Wilson Pickett, Joe Cocker, Kenny Loggins, Jefferson Starship, Laura Nyro, Jimmy Webb and Neil Young are only some of the world famous musicians and performers Peev has toured and recorded with – and then there’s David Crosby.
The legendary founder of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young says of Peev, “The way a guy plays guitar is a combination of dexterity and taste and inventiveness and passion. Peev has all of those things. Pretty much any style he's playing -- the blues, rock 'n' roll, edge-of-jazz kind of stuff, he's there.” Sweet.

Also performing with Jeff is Jonny Rosch (Blues Brothers), Shawn Pelton (Bruce Springsteen), Morris Pleasure, Danny Kortchmar, Frank Gravis and Fred Vigdor (Average White Band).A few words about Pamela Means…she has a voice like a smoky cross between Sarah Vaughn and Macy Gray, and she plays guitar with the subtlety of a quiet jackhammer. Known for her dedication to social justice, Means is a powerhouse who has more and more to give. Expect future greatness – she’s well on her way.
So there you have it: the party of the year explained and described and just waiting for you to say, “Yes!” And you can say “Yes!” It’s as easy as the kind folks at Infinity Music Hall and Bistro can make it. Call or go online, reserve and relax. And then you get to party. After all, you’ve made it waaay past 1999.
Pamela Means will open the Infinity Music Hall New Year’s Eve event at 7:30 PM. Jeff Pevar will take to the stage at 9:30 PM and play thru till 12:30 AM, taking a little time out to strum Auld Lang Syne, no doubt…Happy New Year!
