Jazz vocalist/actor/comedian/broadcaster Wayne Powers started out as a nightclub singer in New York at age 16. He performed across the country, finally landing in Hollywood where he worked for Henry Mancini. He launched his decades-long network television career after being discovered in a live improv comedy show with a then-unknown Robin Williams.
Williams went on to Mork & Mindy and movies, while Powers went on to Laverne & Shirley, Elvis and Me, One Day at a Time, Murder She Wrote, Simon & Simon, Full House, Alf, Doogie Howser, and many others, including starring for two seasons in his own popular NBC sitcom, 13 East. Equally at home on television, radio, theatre, club or concert stage, music is his first love. He has played top jazz rooms and jazz festivals, consistently drawing large, enthusiastic, star-studded crowds.
The critics agree: “Get yourself to a Wayne Powers show. The guy is really terrific!” (L.A. Jazz Scene) “Powers invests deep emotion into standards … bringing a mature understanding to lyrics that sound as if he has lived each one. Like the Jazz greats before him – Sinatra, Eckstine, Prysock, Hartman – Powers understands that great singers are equal parts poets and performers, technicians and thespians. As he’s proven over the course of a long career, he’s the complete package.” (JAZZIZ Magazine)
Powers’ current concert performances are backed by a jazz trio and are centered in the Great American Songbook of jazz standards, swing tunes and saloon songs – and, quite simply, audiences are loving it.
Don’t miss this chance to catch Powers up close and personal in the setting he loves best – an intimate cabaret/supper club. This one-night only event is sure to sell out, so make your reservations early.
Doors open at 5:30 pm. Show begins at 7. Tickets are available at this link.
