Canadian singer Matt Dusk is paying tribute to legendary crooner Tony Bennett with a Western Canadian tour that comes to the Casino Regina Show Lounge on Friday night.
Dusk is an award-winning, platinum-selling vocalist whose career was partly inspired by Bennett, who died last year at 96.
“Renowned for his remarkable vocal range and talent, Dusk brings to life the essence of Bennett’s style and honours his musical legacy with classic hits such as I Left My Heart in San Francisco, The Way You Look Tonight, and The Good Life,” says a media release. “It’s an unforgettable night of entertainment, nostalgia, and celebration of the enduring impact of one of America’s most beloved singers.”
Also on tap at Casino Regina on Sunday night is Limitless, a performance by award-winning Canadian mentalist/magician Ryan Edwards.
