Legendary singer Tony Bennett, who has delighted audiences around the world for more than 50 years with his mix of jazz, pop and the Great American Songbook, is coming to St. Louis to headline a benefit for the Missouri/Kansas Chapter of the American Liver Foundation on Saturday, June 23.The event will be held in the Khorassan Ballroom of the Chase Park Plaza Hotel, and tickets, as you might expect, are quite expensive: $500 each, with the total sale limited to 1,000 tix. The ticket price includes an Italian-themed, four-course meal and open bar. For more information, you can contact the American Liver Foundation by calling (314) 352-7377 or by email at missouri (at) liverfoundation (dot) org.
I've always enjoyed Bennett's singing, and, to echo Saturday Night Live's loving parody of the man's own sunny sentiments, it's great that he's coming to St. Louis to raise money for a great cause. It's just too bad the show is priced so far beyond the means of the average music fan, but I guess quella è vita.
