Meet Cupid's Wingman
February 24 & 25, 2012

Starring Tony DeSare

Smooth and delicious...an apt description of chocolate, champagne, AND Tony DeSare!  Singer, pianist, and songwriter, DeSare has a sound that is romantic, swinging, and senual whether he's performing classic standards or original material.  After starring in "Our Sinatra" off-Broadway, DeSare has been called a Sinatra acolyte and belongs to a group of neo-traditional upstarts stretching from Harry Connick, Jr. to Michael Buble.

DeSare, whose third CD "Radio Show" was released by Telarc Records earlier this year, was named a "Rising Star" Male Vocalist in the 2009 Downbeat Critics Poll. He has won critical acclaim for his concert performances in the U.S., Australia, Japan and Hong Kong. "Let's Stay In," one of the CDs original songs, is featured in the 20th Century Fox film "The Tooth Fairy" starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johns, Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews.
