If any artist could be said to personify the classic American musical tradition, it is Gerard Kenny. He was virtually born into the business.
For his latest project, however, Gerard Kenny is looking to others for inspiration. The Great American Songbook Tour will gather together some of his favourite material. In Gerard's experienced hands, a set list featuring songs such as 'My Funny Valentine', 'Moon River', 'I Get A Kick Out of You', 'Every Time We Say Goodbye' and many more are given an extraordinary new lease of life.
For fans of the greatest selection of songs in popular music, it really doesn't get any better than this the son of a New York song and dance man, he made his public debut at the age of six playing piano on a version of the beautiful standard 'Where Or When'. Since then, he hasn't looked back. Whether writing for himself or artists such as Perry Como, Johnny Mathis, Shirley Bassey, Sacha Distel, James Last, Jack Jones and Marion Montgomery, Kenny's work has always had the unmistakable air of a master craftsman.
Don’t miss this first ever appearance by Gerard Kenny at The Marine Hall, performing THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK as only he can ...... nobody does it better! He will be accompanied by his superb musicians, Sandy Burnett on bass, and Nick Poyner on drums
