DOTNEWS.com – Dorchester vocalist Brian De Lorenzo will release his second big band album, “Toast of the Town, Vol. 2,” on Fri., April 24. He will celebrate with a release party and concert in the South End.
The new recording revisits classic Great American Songbook standards associated with singers like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Tony Bennett, but with unexpected twists: rarely heard verses, inventive song pairings, and fresh arrangements created with veteran arranger and bandleader Tom LaMark and his orchestra.
De Lorenzo’s previous album, “Vol. 1” was recently nominated for the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs’ (MAC) LaMott Friedman Recording Award.
The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Moonshine Room at Club Café, 209 Columbus Ave., Boston. Tickets are $30, available at clubcafe.com.
