Since 1997 The 20-piece George Lake BIG Band has been performing for audiences around the GTA and beyond. Regulars on the festival, dance and jazz venue scene, the band’s repertoire includes the timeless hits of the big band era. Music from Miller, Dorsey, Ellington, Basie and Herman has always been the core of the band’s repertoire but the band has always moved with the times.
We’re pleased that we have two young singers with us this month. John Amato brings his take on classic and modern jazz standards, swinging and singing in the likes of Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme and Michael Buble. Young Diya Tirone brings her vocal talents to wide range of music. Her performance ranges from Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day and June Christy to Nancy Wilson, Linda Ronstadt and Allicia Keys. Not to be missed are John and Diya’s vocal duets.
Under direction of band leader Steve Pettafor, the George Lake BIG Band is pleased to return to The Rex where the focus is always on great music.
