2015 Summer Concert Series

30th Season!

JAMES TORMÉ *

Thursday, July 2, 2015, at 8:00 p.m.

Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ

Multi-Award winning eOne Music recording artist James Tormé is a uniquely gifted singer whose music infuses older classics with contemporary influences, and haunts newer songs with his timeless throwback renditions. The young singer's musical repertoire, which he calls the New American Songbook, explores all corners of popular music history and appeals to young and old audiences alike.

Tormé’s debut album, Love for Sale, reached #2 on iTunes Jazz and #3 at Amazon Jazz as well as #5 at US Radio in the Jazz category. And, it all stands to reason: James comes from a professional show business family whose names are renowned on both sides of the Atlantic. His father is Mel, the legendary jazz singer whose songwriting credits include The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire); his mother, Janette Scott, and grandmother, Dame Thora Hird, are both celebrated British actresses.

Tormé attributes much of what he is able to do as a singer to “the process of osmosis” as well as being [genetically] traceable to his family’s theatrical and musical background. James explains, “There's no question, I absorbed a lot from my dad and his peers, both on and off the stage.” This is clearly evident in James’ performances which are laced with comic timing and James' uncanny knack for old-school showmanship.

For the Community Arts Program (CAP) 2015 Summer Concert Series, concertgoers will begin a star-spangled holiday. James Tormé—accompanied by his band—will pay tribute to all corners of American music history…with a distinctly-inherited flare!
