The Music of Bobby Darin

90 minutes of non-stop energy---stories of Darin's childhood, illness, death at the age of 37 plus multimedia and some of the greatest songs ever recorded and performed!

As a kid in LA, while his friends listened to the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean, Ron Gartner decided "surf-music" wasn't his bag. Falling in love in the 60's with great music from Philadelphia and Detroit, he was "almost" a star, performing at the Whisky A-go-go when Johnny Rivers was there, and at PJ's with Trini Lopez. When the Motown contract didn't happen, he put his voice on the shelf for years, until opportunity knocked. Moving to NY, he resurrected his career in 2000 with a free show at senior center, and, today performs at the nation's finest venues.
From Feinsteins (Michael Feinstein's nightclub) in New York, to casinos, performing art centers, country clubs, and outdoor concerts, this multi-talented singer belts them out like Sammy and Bobby Darin used to--dances like James Brown and Chubby Checker--and leaves the crowds screaming for more.
It looks like saving his voice for those many years, while pursuing other business, is the key for a second career. The NY Times, LA Times, PBS, and CBS, to name a few, have all found his story fascinating.

We appreciate venues that have professional equipment (sound and lighting). However, we always can arrange to provide the finest in sound equipment, if necessary.
