FRANK, DINO AND THE WHAM OF SAM
"ALONE TOGETHER" WITH ALL-STAR HORNS 8 PM $15
Join Tony and an All-Star Swinging Septet as they sing for you the best of Frank, Dino and Sammy, all in one show. To be clear, this is Tony's rendering of each one of these dynamic performers, with monologues from their live performances.

The show will begin with Dino, singing and joking his way through "Ain't That A Kick In The Head", a medley of Dino's famous song parodies and, of course his theme song, "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime." Then Frank will swing "I've Got You Under My Skin", "What Now My Love", "Come Dance With Me" and more. And you can't do Frank without a least one great saloon song. The show will end with The Wham of Sam. "Once In A Lifetime", "The Goin's Great", "What Kind Of Fool Am I?" and many more. Tony renders each of the tributes with a great combination of reverence for the material and a tremendous spirit of fun.

THE STOLEN SWEETS 8 PM $12
Without a doubt this is Portland's finest vocal harmony trio. The Stolen Sweets was formed in 2004 with the intention of reviving the songs of 1930s sister act, The Boswell Sisters. Comprised of vocalists Jen Bernard, Lara Michell and Erin Sutherland, guitarists Pete Krebs and David Langenes (both of whom sing) and double bass player Keith Brush, The Sweets' repertoire has expanded to include material from the 1920s -1940s. Their arrangements are still inspired by the Boswells' tight 3-part harmonies, frequent tempo changes and "knowing shrugs and raised eyebrows," as noted by the Oregonian's A&E. In March of 2008, the Sweets took their maiden voyage to Europe, performing their unique brand of vintage jazz in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Germany and Slovenia. A wonderful time was had by all, and they can't wait to return. Come see them before they head out of the country again!
