MY way: Andrew Walesch
And His Orchestra
PERFORM THE MUSIC OF FRANK SINATRA
BIO
Singer and pianist Andrew Walesch encapsulates the sophistication of a cosmopolite and the self-effacing charm of a country boy. Whether composing and arranging or appearing in settings ranging from solo artist to big band, this Minnesota native, who crisscrosses the country playing dates big and small, is as respectful of his predecessors as he is ready to take a leap into the unknown and chart a new course. In his monthly, sold-out shows with his 10-piece band, Walesch is a traditionalist and an iconoclast rolled into one. His audiences include jazz enthusiasts of a certain age, as well as a younger crowd compelled by his down-home insouciance, and the knowing irreverence of a tried-and-true American nightclub entertainer.

FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND

A Minnesota treasure, Andrew Walesch is a song stylist of the great jazz and pop standards of the 20th Century. On Friday, June 13, he will perform MY WAY, a tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, and the Sultan of Swoon: Frank Sinatra. Pianist and singer, Andrew captures the phrasing and timing of the singer/actor who said, “You only go around once, but if you play your cards right, once is enough.” Andrew mines Sinatra’s songbook with his ten-piece big band, one that includes “Fly me To The Moon,” “My Way,” “That’s Life,” and “New York New York,” among many many more.
