As Long As I'm Singin': Russ Lorenson Celebrates the Music of Bobby Darin
Russ Lorenson explores the life and music of an American music legend in his
show, "As Long As I’m Singin': Russ Lorenson
Celebrates the Music of Bobby Darin". An innovative performer whose tragically
brief life was often stranger than fiction, Bobby Darin worked his way from
shady nightclubs all the way to the world-famous Copacabana, where he smashed
all attendance records, and wowed audiences with hits like "Splish Splash,"
"Mack the Knife," "Beyond the Sea," and "If I Were A Carpenter."
A dynamic entertainer and musical chameleon, Bobby had Top 10 hits in Rock 'n
Roll, Jazz, Pop, Country and Folk, moving effortlessly through each genre and
making it his own. Not only a Grammy-winning recording artist, Bobby was also an
award-winning composer, an Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning actor,
and a music publishing mogul. His marriage to "America's Sweetheart" Sandra Dee
broke young girls' hearts and made headlines around the world.
Beset with illness from an early age, Bobby was driven to accomplish all he
could in what he knew would be a brief life, and gave everything he had to be
remembered "as a human being and as a great performer."
With a swingin' 7-piece band featuring the San Francisco Bay Area's hottest jazz
musicians, along with a trio of beautiful backup singers, the show captures
Bobby's unique spirit, musical versatility, and fun-loving style!
