Program Description
Event Details
There truly is no story in popular music like Bobby Darin’s. He burst out of the gates singing lightweight rock ‘n’ roll for the kids before fine tuning his songs for the adults. He explored folk music and show tunes after perfectly mastering the art of singing standards backed by orchestras. He is often paired with Frank Sinatra as one of the premier purveyors of the swingin’ style. And, besides being a great songwriter and interpreter of songs, he was also a captivating impressionist and accomplished actor.
Few people know that Bobby Darin was also an ardent civil rights supporter and political activist, and a champion of the oppressed. Yet, while many other performers grew up in the grip of poverty with the overwhelming desire to escape it through their art, no others in modern time had to do it all with the knowledge that they only had a brief window of time to make it happen. Tony Traguardo tells the unique story of this incredible artist in a presentation featuring rarely seen video footage from different phases of Bobby’s career, combined with a live musical performance by Tony with guitarist/vocalist John Keating.
