Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAfter two years of pandemic-induced shutdown and Omicron-postponed reopenings in December and January, Iridium, the downstairs music club in New York’s Times Square known as the “home of Les Paul,” is finishing the second week of its grand reopening, which launched on March 1 with a performance by the Harlem Blues Project, followed by four shows with a fiery jazz-rock band led by guitarist Mike Stern (featuring the great Randy Brecker on cornet), blues guitarist King Solomon Hicks, veteran folksinger Tom Rush and tonight and Saturday, guitarist Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, and jazz guitarist Larry Carlton, including sets focused on his extensively 1970s work with Steely Dan.The unusually intimate (for New York, anyway) 170-capacity downstairs club, which has updated its cleaning procedures and air-filtration system, returned with a full menu (including entrees like “The Les Paul” burger and the plant-based “Jerry Garcia”) a robust wine list and many (potent) specialty cocktails. The club is also launching Iridium Underground, a new series focused on emerging artists, next week with Brooklyn-based guitarist-producer Mario and the Mood.
Summer House’s Luke Gulbranson Has 1 Regret About How He Handled Romance With Hannah Berner: ‘It Was Insane’
20.02.2022 - 20:09 / usmagazine.com
Making some changes. While reflecting on his past Summer House romances, Luke Gulbranson admitted that there was one regret that he had about his time with Hannah Berner.
“I wish that in the Hannah situation that I had asked more questions to her friends, like Amanda [Batula] and Paige [DeSorbo], on what she was telling them,” Luke, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting season 6 of the hit Bravo series. “Because what she would tell them was the complete opposite of what I would tell her.

The Minnesota native noted that despite the issues in his relationship with both Hannah, 30, and Ciara Miller, he doesn’t regret either romance, adding, “I’ve grown a lot through those experiences and become a better man because of it. I’ve learned a lot about other people’s character because of it as well. It’s just taught me a lot of lessons.”
Viewers watched Hannah and Luke form a connection when he joined season 4 of Summer House in 2020. Tensions developed between the costars when the comedian claimed that they dated after a hookup, while the jewelry designer alleged that they just had a fling.
During season 5, Hannah explained why things took a turn when Luke brought Ciara, 26, to the house.
“I was feeling so many emotions [when Ciara showed up] because I knew I was locked in a house for the next six weeks,” the New York native, who is now engaged to fellow comedian Des Bishop, shared with Us in February 2021. “I wasn’t mentally prepared for it, especially ‘cause he wasn’t giving me those kinds of signals up until that point.”
At the time, Luke maintained that he wasn’t dating Hannah before they reunited in season 5, telling Us that same month, “Maybe she thought it was something else, but I was under the
