EDDIE WAKES: UNFORGETTABLE (an evening of Nat "King" Cole and the Great American Songbook)

To experience Eddie Wakes perform is to be transported back in time. His sense of joy and wonder is infectious. Take a quick scroll through the comments about Eddie and you'll see that not only his timeless voice gets raves, but his ability to inspire audiences with his stories and music, makes a connection with people that transcends generations.

Upon first hearing Eddie Wakes, one is immediately struck by his rich tone and extraordinary sound from another era. What is rare is his ability to interpret songs in a vulnerable and personal way that connects with an audience.

Eddie’s highly anticipated debut recording, “Street Singer, Volume 1”, makes reference to his time as a street musician and was discovered by Hollywood A-listers performing a collection of Great American Songbook classics in a variety of settings. Influenced by songs made famous by everyone from Nat “King’ Cole, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Johnny Hartman, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, even James Brown places him in the lineage of the greatest interpreters of the repertoire
