Perignon Restaurant and Lounge is a fairly new venue on Coleman Road in the Raleigh neighborhood of Memphis. It’s no more than 5 minutes from my house, so when I learned that they have live music on certain nights, I decided to go and check it out. I was especially interested in checking out Memphis R & B singer Chris J and his band Freestyle, since my drummer friend Antonio Motley plays with them. Like a number of Memphis clubs and restaurants, Perignon fills up rapidly on a Friday night, with nearly every table in the main room filled, and a line of people standing against the wall near the stage. Chris J is a decent singer, whose show is a combination of cover tunes and originals, and his backing band Freestyle is first-rate, as are his backup singers. Several of Chris’ original songs can be heard at
