“Fresh and classic at the same time” – Star Tribune
Step into the golden age of the Las Vegas showroom! There, the orchestra was swinging, the lights were low, and every night felt like an event. “Vegas 1960” brings that world to life through the music of Sammy Davis Jr., Tom Jones, Bobby Darin, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and more. Moreover, the music is reimagined with fresh, elegant arrangements for Andrew Walesch and His Orchestra.
Here, this new show features specially curated charts by award-winning arranger Mike Crotty. Hear a blend of timeless standards and soulful classics into a vivid portrait of an era when style, swagger, and musicianship defined the stage. Led from the piano and center stage, Walesch guides the evening with a blend of elegance, energy, and intimacy. Additionally, he moves seamlessly from hard-swinging big band moments to late-night ballads that feel pulled from a smoky after-hours set. He’ll lead his world-class ensemble through arrangements that honor the spirit of the originals while offering something entirely new. “Vegas 1960” isn’t a tribute—it’s a reimagining of one of music’s most iconic moments.
Recommended for fans of Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé and Bing Crosby.
