Michael Feinstein Announces Wedding Plans with Longtime Partner

In Monday's New York Times (online today, print tomorrow), Stephen Holden has done an in-depth piece on Michael Feinstein (click here) as Michael prepares for his upcoming run and the release of his new album. In the piece, Holden also breaks the news of Feinstein's engagement to longtime partner Terrence Flannery. The couple are due to be married in Los Angeles on October 17, 2008.

FEINSTEIN'S AT LOEWS REGENCY celebrates its 10th anniversary season with a new show by the club's founder Michael Feinstein for one week only from Tuesday to Saturday, September 2 - 6th. His new show "The Sinatra Project" will feature New York's Finest swinging 17-piece Big Band!  Feinstein's longtime musical director John Oddo will lead the 17-piece band featuring Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar, Jim Saporito on drums, and David Finck on bass. September 2 will also mark the release of his new CD - The Sinatra Project from Concord Records – which collects the great romantic songs performed by Ol' Blue Eyes.

Michael Feinstein, one of the premiere interpreters of American popular song, has been a household name since the success of his 1988 one-man Broadway show, Isn't It Romantic. He enjoys an active performance calendar, including major concert halls, symphony orchestras, intimate jazz clubs and college campuses. More than a mere performer, he is nationally recognized for his commitment to the American popular song, both celebrating its art and preserving its legacy for the next generation.
