Straight from a sold out run in New York, Dane Vannatter will bring his new cabaret and jazz show, "Alone Together: A Tony Bennett Album" to the Gardenia Room (7066 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood) on Wednesday, November 12th (9PM) and make his West Coast cabaret debut. Directed by Lennie Watts, the evening will feature songs from the Bennett album including "Alone Together," "Poor Butterfly," "It's Magic," and a rarely sung Bart Howard song "Walk in the Country."
"Alone Together: A
Tony Bennett Album, follows the course of my own singing career by way of an album that was in my father's record collection when I was growing up. Alone Together is the album that made me want to be a singer," says Vannatter. Critics raved, calling his show “timeless and magnetic…a class act.”
Joining Dane Vannatter will be: Bill Duffy on piano; Thomson Kneeland on bass; George Farrell on drums. Dane Vannatter and his ensemble have performed to sold out audiences throughout New England and New York.
Vannatter's distinctive swinging and soulful sound to songs by songwriters such as
Harold Arlen, Rodgers & Hart,
Stevie Wonder and
Craig Carnelia has garnered him the 2006 Bistro Award for Outstanding Vocalist and the 2000 Bistro Award for Outstanding CD for his second recording, "Flight." He has been nominated for four MAC awards and is a 2007 Nightlife Award finalist. Dane has performed for several years at the annual
