Although her venue today differs from the swanky supper clubs and lounges of years past, Sonia Modes still enjoys making music and taking requests.
On Monday night, she sat down at a baby grand piano and took requests, just as she has throughout a career that started in the 1950s.— where she played for more than 50 years — or another of the supper clubs and lounges where she entertained. It’s Creekside at the Village, the East Side assisted-living facility that’s part of the Wexner Heritage Village retirement community where Modes lives.
Modes shared the spotlight with Gregg Herbst, a Columbus singer who accompanied Modes as much as she accompanied him. On several songs, Herbst would croon a few bars and then give way for Modes to shine.There were wheelchairs and walkers scattered amid the crowd and no one got up to dance, but I could hear wistful sighs and whispery singalongs as the audience reacted to “Strangers in the Night,” “As Time Goes By,” I’ve Got the World on a String” and “Misty.
Her twice-monthly Creekside at the Village performances are her first since she left the Top on March 11, 2020, as the pandemic began.Sonia Modes showed her talent from an early age Modes had longstanding engagements at several long-gone Columbus locales — the Desert Inn, the Neil House and the Kahiki among them — and her Sonia Modes Trio performed around town for years.Along the way she established a reputation for remembering names and favorite songs and for being an exuberant matchmaker. She claims credit for 44 marriages.Modes herself was married to businessman Saul Schottenstein, who died in 2007.
