King of The Swingers: Sinatra Through The Years, is the most authentic sounding Tribute Concert to the unforgettable music of Old Blues Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. Standing in Franks shoes is International performer Rhydian Lewis, who performs like he is channeling Sinatra at his absolute peak.
Being supported by one of Australia’s finest Big Bands, “The Residuals”, King of The Swingers has toured extensively with their concerts being described as ‘simply stunning’.
Performing the songs in a truly captivating way, against a backdrop of iconic stories, this show’s moving recreation, and unmistakable sound of probably the most recognisable icon in American History is something of a masterpiece.
Rhydian and The Residuals have a special chemistry that can not be denied, that will make you feel as if you are back in the Copa and The Sunset Lounge on the Infamous Las Vegas Strip, in the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s Whilst you’re submerged in the Vegas vide, you will hear some of the most memorable songs ever written, made famous by one of the worlds greatest ever Crooners.
Featuring a song line up, including some of Sinatra’s most famous and best selling Hits; Come Fly With Me, The Lady Is a Tramp, Fly Me To The Moon, I’ve Got You Under My Skin, That’s Life, My Way, Luck Be a Lady, The Theme from New York New York, Old Devil Moon, One For My Baby (And One More For the Road), My Kind of Town, Strangers In the Night, (Love Is) The Tender Trap, and more. This is without doubt, possibly, the closest thing to Frank Sinatra in his prime, touring today.
In 1978, 20 years after its original release, Rhydian’s first ever tape cassettes was Frank Sinatra’s “Come Fly With me”, which he played so much, the tape nearly wore out. “I was brought up with the songs of Sinatra, but I just couldn’t hit those low notes until later in life! And now, here I stand before my very own swinging Big Band, singing The Sinatra songs from my childhood. Dreams really do come true!”
Come and be moved by this celebrated Swing and Crooner music, which is just as popular today, as way back in the day. See for yourself, why Rhydian Lewis is being called Australia ’s own Sinatra, with his dedicated and heartfelt stories, both serious and funny, about the man who led The Rat Pack, won an Oscar, and married one of the most beautiful women in the world. Rhydian is featured on The Ministry of Sounds first ever Big Band Swing albums released in 2017 in the UK, USA, Canada and Ireland.
This feel good, good times show may be just what you needed to put a jump back in your step! Re-live the Sinatra Era and enjoy The King of The Swingers™.
