JOHN ABERNATHY SINGS JUST AN OLD SWEET SONG OR TWO
JM Productions is proud to present "Just An Old Sweet Song" a tribute
to Hoagy Carmichael starring John Abernathy with special guest Lynda
D'Amour! This upbeat show arrives on September 14th directly from Rhode
Island to RAFFAEL'S AT NANTASKET BEACH (45 Hull Shore Drive, Hull, MA
- 781-925-4515 - http://www.raffaels.com/
). John Abernathy performs some of Hoagy Carmichael's most famous songs:
"Georgia on My Mind", "Heart and Soul", "Skylark", "Stardust" and many
more. Backed by Tom LaMark on piano, this performance will include special
guest vocalist Lynda D'Amour. IRNE award winner Ida Zecco directs the
show.
John Abernathy was recently featured in the 16th Annual
New York Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center in a tribute to Broadway
composer Jerry Herman sharing the stage with legendary performers
Lee Roy Reams, Michael Feinstein, Marilyn Maye, and Mr. Herman himself.
He received a 2005 nomination for Best Male Cabaret Performer from
the Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) for his show "A Cock-Eyed
Optimist" at Club Cafe in Boston. John toured internationally as pianist
and soloist with the musical group "Up With People" including a performance
with the National Symphony Orchestra in Constitution Hall.
Lynda D'Amour's first solo venture into the cabaret
waters emerged as "All About Love" with Tom LaMark as Music Director,
a show exploring the ups & downs of love through standard and contemporary
Broadway show tunes. It also landed her a spot at CabaretFest in Provincetown
where Lynda shared the billing with the likes of nationally known
artists Brett Somers and The Fabulous Baker Sisters. Lynda is currently
enjoying her third season of singing the National Anthem at the Verizon
Center for AHL hockey team the Manchester Monarchs. She can also be
found regularly at Club Cafe in Boston, crooning to the dinner crowd
and right into the midnight hour.
Tom LaMark holds a degree from the world-renowned Berklee
College of Music. He has a remarkably varied base of experience to
draw upon. Well-versed in many different styles of music, he has played
with jazz stars: Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Hartman and Buddy Rich. He
has accompanied some of the greats of show business including: Aretha
Franklin, The Smothers Brothers, Robert Merrill and many more.
Tickets for show only are $30. For dinner and show $50.
