ENCORE PERFORMANCE!

SWINGIN' IN A NEW DIMENSION

EP RELEASE CELEBRATION

Martin Bonventre,  a true old-school showman with a baritone voice, smooth moves, and a big, open-hearted personality, brings his show to The Laurie Beechman Theatre with the release of his brand-new EP, Swingin’ in a New Dimension. This all-new solo show blends a wide variety of music from the Great American Songbook to golden-age musical theatre to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond.

Backed by a killer band of seasoned pros, with arrangements by music director Jackie Presti, the night features:
        •        Jason Yeager on piano
        •        Tony Tedesco on drums
        •        Boots Maleson on bass
        •        Greg Ruvolo on trumpet
        •        Geoff Burke on sax and flute

Expect a few dance breaks, a few good stories, and a whole lotta swing.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN:

“As Sinatra learned from Bing Crosby and took crooning into a new dimension, Martin Bonventre has learned from the whole history of swingin’ singers — from Crosby to Marvin Gaye — and he makes music all his own. He’s a swinger for the bold and unexpected new ways things swing today.” - David Hajdu, author of Love for Sale: Pop Music in America

"At 34, Martin has a lot of future ahead of him—and from where I stand, all of it looks great." - Will Friedwald, Author and Jazz Journalist
