Expect some entertaining laughs and a good time with fresh original arrangements of hits made famous by Louis Armstrong, Burt Bacharach, Diana Krall, Michael Buble, Johnny Cash and more. Hear favourites like Hello Dolly, Oh When the Saints, Bourbon Street Parade & Basin Street Blues, The House of the Rising Sun and the Ring of Fire as well as a special tribute to the late great Natalie Cole.
