As the co-creator and leader of the high-end cover act Party
on the Moon, guitarist Dennis Lee Smith was the first one on stage to
notice the owner of the Mar-a-Lago golf club was staring directly at him
and
motioning for an assistant. As dinner was being served in the opulent Donald J. Trump Grand Ballroom on New Year’s Eve 2009, the assistant came over to the side of the stage and told Smith, “Mr. Trump would like you to stop playing this crap and play something more upbeat.”

In seconds, Party on the Moon sonically transitioned from
the sleepy bossa nova digestive aid “The Girl From Ipanema,” rocketing
into a Stevie Wonder medley that immediately packed the Palm Beach,
Florida dance floor. Every New Year’s Eve since, the Atlanta-based
13-piece act, chock-full of world class musicians who have toured with
Beyonce, Celine Dion and Earth, Wind & Fire, has been the
president-elect’s preferred party act.
