Steve Ross is an entertainer who makes you want to curl up with an open fire, a box of Godiva chocolates and a couple of glasses of Noble One.
He is a cabaret artist with a repertoire that has been entertaining audiences for 35 years and has the well-earned title of the King of New York Cabaret.
His return to the National Press Club gave patrons a triple-bill with perfect dinner music from Tony Magee and Steve Skurka and a special performance by our own Gery Scott.
Most memorable were the Jim Croce song Time in a Bottle and a re-working of Send in the Clowns.
Steve has worked at the famous Algonquin Hotel. Elizabeth and Howard Grant were at the club being reminded of a performance there by Steve in the early ‘80s.
As always, the best way to spend a Saturday night was with good company, good food and exceptional entertainment.
