Hot off the heels of his recent western Canadian tour, crooner Matt Dusk is set to bring his captivating show, Matt Dusk Sings Tony Bennett, to Ontario with a 15-date run that includes a stop next month at the Midland Cultural Centre.
“Performing in Ontario is so special to me, it’s like I get to perform to a hometown crowd every night,” Dusk says from his Toronto home.
According to a release, the show promises to captivate audiences with Dusk's exceptional vocal range and pay tribute to the enduring legacy of American performer Tony Bennett known for a string of hits including I Left My Heart in San Francisco, The Way You Look Tonight and the Good Life.
A lifelong admirer of Bennett, Dusk fondly recalls their friendship formed in the Las Vegas showroom they shared, where the late crooner imparted valuable career advice,” the release noted, pointing out Dusk’s homage not only celebrates Bennett's memory but also marks a milestone in his career and follows the success of his previous show Matt Dusk Sings Sinatra, which enjoyed sold-out performances in more than 70 Canadian and U.S. cities.
Dusk says the new show is a musical journey through Bennett’s musical catalogue.
“Tony Bennett was an idol for me growing up, and I’m thrilled to create the very first show to pay homage to such a legend,” he said.
“Stepping on stage with a smokin' band, performing these timeless hits, is about the music, the musicians, and the memories from the man who was swingin’ in every era.”
