–San Jose Mercury News
Following sold out shows in 2018 and 2019, New York native Jonathan Poretz makes his long-awaited return to the 54 Below stage with a brand-new show – Totally Tony: Keepin’ The Music Playin’! With Tony Bennett’s passing on July 21, 2023, the world lost perhaps the last of the Great American Crooners. But his music and spirit live on! Backed by his amazing trio, Poretz, the Bay Area’s Favorite Crooner, takes audiences on a musical journey through the life of a man considered by many to be the greatest voice of his generation.
Among the more than two dozen songs featured in this musical tribute are some of Tony Bennett’s most beloved and well-known hits, including “Rags To Riches,” “For Once In My Life,” “The Good Life,” “I Wanna Be Around,” “Put On A Happy Face,” “Steppin’ Out,“ “I Left My Heart In San Francisco,” and many, many more!
Featuring Jonathan’s brother, Andrew Poretz, a wonderful singer of the Great American Songbook standards, now known to many throughout NYC for his insightful reviews of cabaret and jazz shows at virtually every nightclub in town. Piano by Richard Nelson Hall.
Please note that all artists and acts are subject to change at any time.
