Crooners: A Swingin' Salute to Frank Sinatra/Legends of Las Vegas! April 29, 2012

A salute to the legendary crooners of Las Vegas and the cool swingin' sounds of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and the Rat Pack brigade is coming to Old Town in this jazzy swingin' musical journey through the Great American Songbook.

This show highlights the most celebrated singers of the century and the timeless 'standards' that made them great; from composers like Irving Berlin, George and Ira Gershwin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Rodgers and Hart, to the award-winning 'Tin Pan Alley' tunesmiths who paved the way from Broadway to Hollywood.

"This is not an impersonator or lookalike show, but a swingin' and affectionate salute to one of the greatest entertainers of our time," says Mark W. Curran, featured vocalist in the show. "It's a romantic look back at a time when class and style ruled - and Frank and the Rat Pack were Kings!"

Curran is excited about bringing "Crooners" to Old Town Temecula; "'Crooners' will take you back to the days when the Rat Pack ruled Vegas, entertainers wore tuxedoes, and when a song, along with a martini and a cigarette, could take you to the top of the world."

Mark W. Curran will be joined onstage by the Tony Capko Moderne Jazz Ensemble, consisting of Tony Capko on drums, Ric Mandel on piano, and Jon Murry on bass.
