Welcome to the world of timeless melodies and unforgettable performances. Remember a time when two great entertainers, Bobby Darin and Paul Anka, wowed audiences with the soundtracks of our lives. They were showmen in the best sense of the term.
Now be prepared to be mesmerized by the captivating vocals and magnetic stage presence of two talented showmen, Lou Villano and Ron Gartner, who, with their band, embody the spirit and charisma that made Anka and Darin such icons.
Lou Villano has had a busy career as a singer, with songstress Julie Budd calling him “a fabulous singer” and a “major talent.” He has won several awards for his Paul Anka shows, especially Times of Your Life, a recreation of a Paul Anka show. Lou has appeared around the country and is a South Florida favorite.
Ron Gartner is a New York City entertainment agent and performer who presented a solo concert of the music of Bobby Darin at the famed NYC club 54 Below. Celebrating the music, life and times of the teen idol, singer/songwriter, movie star and nightclub performer, he sings finger-snapping Darin hits like “Mack the Knife,” “Splish Splash,” Dream Lover,” “Beyond the Sea,” and “Clementine.” His goal is to honor the legacy of “the swinging-est guy who ever put on a tux.” The Los Angeles Times called Gartner’s Darin show, “An over-the-top evening to remember by one truly talented showman whose voice and stage presence really roll down everyone’s socks.”
Come hear these two recreate a suave and elegant era when men wore tuxes and women swooned. Whether you grew up with these timeless tunes or are discovering them for the first time, you’ll feel the magic of Paul Anka and Bobby Darin.
