Chances are there might be more brokers at a typical rock show by Open House, a band consisting of brokers, than at an actual Manhattan open house.
The band was formed about six months ago by the Corcoran Group’s Robert Bernstein and Eric Fleming, who play electric guitar and drums.
“We would go to a studio and play and have fun when we realized that we’re really good,” said Bernstein. “It’s ’70s and ’80s pop rock, so everyone knows the music.”
At bars like Limerick, Open House plays covers that include an eclectic mix of Donna Summer, Bon Jovi and Sade’s “Smooth Operator.”
“We are not the best musicians and singers, but it’s fun,” Fleming said. “I just don’t want to be construed as all real estate all the time. Both my customers and owners think it’s really cool.”
Open House’s next gigs will be a REBNY talent show and the Corcoran Cares charity event in May.
