Harvey Granat Sings Fred Astaire

March 19 @ 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM

$49 per ticket
Lunch Box Matinee: Lunch at 12pm | Show at 1pm

Astaire introduced more songs into the Great American Songbook than any other singer. Our greatest songwriters: Gershwin, Berlin, Porter, Kern, and others, loved his pure delivery of their music and lyrics and wrote songs especially for him to sing. Believe it or not, he was the first to sing: “Night and Day”, “Lovely to Look At”, “Cheek to Cheek”, “The Way You Look Tonight”, “A Foggy Day”, “I Won’t Dance”, “They Can’t Take That Away From Me”, “One for My Baby” and more. Come hear live performances of these, and many others, along with inside stories about Astaire and some special videos of other great singers who have covered these Astaire songs.

 
About Harvey Granat:
Harvey performs at many supper clubs, resorts and cultural venues including his very popular American Composer Series at the 92nd Street Y, his American Songbook Series at Florida Atlantic University, Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts, McCallum Theater in Palm Springs, multiple engagements at Feinstein’s at the Regency, The Metropolitan Room in NY, Birdland and Canyon Ranch Resort where he appears every other week and has done over 300 shows. He has performed at private functions including at The Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami and several of the largest libraries and synagogues in the New York area.

His shows are unique in that they typically focus on a composer and/or lyricist, combining his singing of their songs with fascinating “inside” stories of their lives, films and shows. Many of these stories come from his  collection of original letters written by these greats of American music including Gershwin, Berlin, Porter, Rodgers, Kern and Cahn among others.
