Celebrate the beginning of a new year at the Glen Eyrie Castle! The Gala consists of a sumptuous 4 course dinner, live music, and room to dance the night away.

Musical entertainment is provided by the Gentle Rain Band. Taking the classic jazz standards, this group blends traditional and contemporary styles to present an unforgettable musical experience.   Sultry vocalist Marcelle Hureau tells a story in every song she sings. Saxophonist and vocalist Ed Hureau brings to the stage an almost-forgotten era of style and class.  Guitarist Jim Christian adds in the blues, jazz and soul.  And bassist, Jay Hahn, supplies the rhythmic foundation with his virtuosity and melodic solo style. Drummer Scott Barbier is amazing on any musical style.  All members are retired US Air Force and were part of the Air Force Academy Band. Enjoy a range of genres to dance to including swing, country, pop, blues, classical rock and more.

Invite your special someone to enjoy the dance floor with you as you celebrate. At 10:00 pm,  we will watch the ball drop in Times Square in NYC via livestream. We will toast the new year with Martinelli's sparkling cider (Gleyn Eyrie is an alcohol-free property) and conclude.
