Singers Wanted: Sinatra Birthday Bash
The Sinatra Birthday Bash is a musical celebration of the life and artistry of Frank Sinatra on what would have been his 93rd birthday, December 12, 2008. A dozen of New Jersey's finest saloon singers, all selected by audition specifically for this performance, take the Count Basie Theatre stage backed by the 17-piece Red Bank Jazz Orchestra under the musical direction of Joe Muccioli, who Jazzwise Magazine says works with "a maximum of authenticity." Singing the great songs of the American Songbook, the tunes associated with Sinatra during his long career, the Sinatra Birthday Bash is not a costume and wig show, but a sincere, respectful tribute in music and song to one of New Jersey's favorite and most famous sons, performed by the finest singers working in Jersey today.
Audition Information:
Vocalists selected to participate in the 2008 Sinatra Birthday Bash will commit to attending a voice and piano rehearsal on a date TBA prior to the show, and dress rehearsal in the afternoon and the performance itself on the evening of Friday, December 12, 2008 at the Count Basie Theatre. Singers will be paid an honorarium of $250. Male vocalists, female vocalists, and vocal ensembles wishing to be considered should send a resume, head shot and an audio CD containing no more than three examples of your work to: Sinatra Birthday Bash, Count Basie Theatre, 99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701. Submission deadline is August 1, 2008. Materials will not be acknowledged or returned.
